Paul
Fodder for thought
I n light of recent events regarding offensive
images and their potentially devastating
effect on the young, it comes as something
of a surprise to find that an innocent flower is
being held up as an object of chagrin. That
isn't strictly true, actually, as it is the way in
which the flower is being portrayed that has
so angered not only war veterans and MPs,
but the Royal British Legion, pedlars of the
flower each Remembrance Day.
Apparently, the parties felt that Sensible
Software's decision to incorporate the flower
into their battle spoof Cannon Fodder gave
the impression that it was somehow endorsed
by the British Legion, which, they were at
pains to point out in a national newspaper, it
certainly wasn't.
don't take a moralistic standpoint on matters
of national importance and we don't aspire to
olitical greatness. If we may express a
umble opinion though, it seems as though
computer games are one of the latest
scapegoats for all things "bad", just as music
was before them. Sensible Software stated in
this magazine just a few months ago that
Cannon Fodder, apart from being an excellent
way of spending a few hours, is a way of
showing the futility of war, and we completely
fail to see the harm in that. Oh well...
Dismay!
The fact that March based Sensible
Software state that, "War has never
been so much fun" also caused
some dismay among the same
group, who, it seems, felt that
the whole game was extremely
offensive, as the publicity
circulated at a time when most
people would be remembering
the dead.
The main and overriding aim
of this magazine is to give up to
the minute information on all the
games available for the Amiga. We
Prototypes of Switchsoft’s interactive control method. A SNES turbo
pad It ain’t, but it does the job for a game with great prospects.
W ho's heard of Switchsoft then?
Unless you happen to be a regular
purchaser of robot arms and other
such industrial hi-tech devices, then it isn't
too likely, but the Darlington based firm are
aiming to put that to rights with their first
foray into the Amiga games market, in the
form of the tentatively titled Switchquiz.
At the time of writing, the game is
graphically very basic indeed (this may or
may not change depending upon ongoing
research), but Switchsoft insist - and we
don't doubt it - that the beauty of their
product is in the simplicity of the gameplay,
and its true interactive nature. Switchquiz
will contain about 1,000 questions in the
first instance, taking the form of a pub quiz
for up to four players, each participant in
charge of a strange looking controller housing
four buttons, with which to choose an answer,
and timers can be set for the length of time
afforded to answer questions.
We were instantly hooked in the office, and
the promise of extra data disks and educational
disks make it look like a package that could last
and last. Check us out next month when we
should have a review.

Loads more from
R eady for another memory test? OK
then, who remembers Darkmere, the
moody role player Core Design were
threatening to bring out about a year ago?
Well it's almost here. Hectic schedules and
restructuring of the game have meant the
release date has slipped somewhat, but
Core promise that it will be worth the wait
when it finally comes out of testing.
The 3D isometric adventure (for those
who can't remember) sees you as an elf
prince in possession of a magical sword
used by your father to slay a dragon years
ago. You must lift the curse from your
village by solving dozens of puzzles and
fighting a not inconsiderable amount of
battles along the way. Core faithfully
promise that Darkmere will be with us
around January.
Out of sequence
Meanwhile, they've been busy working on
Darkstone - the, ahem, sequel to
Darkmere, which it now seems wi II be
released around the same time. The game
engine is completed at this stage, the
perspective being similar to that of The
Chaos Engine, and the graphics and mood
altogether brighter than those of Darkmere.
Fans of Curse of Enchantia will be
delighted to hear that a follow up is well
into development. Universe is programmed
by several of the same team who worked on
Enchantia plus one or two new faces,
though everyone concerned wishes to stress
that it is in no way a sequel to the successful
textless adventure. The main similarity is that
Universe follows the adventures of an
everyday boy, Boris, who is dragged
unwittingly into a parallel dimension.
Unlike Enchantia, Universe has a
distinctly futuristic, even Cyberpunk feel to it,
the aim being the eventual overthrow of the
pvetT^flll^rkrn^e wiM soon tie

evil emperor, Neiamises. Neat and
innovative twists are the arcade style
sequences which crop up infrequently. Core
hope that when these are combined with the
dozens of painstakingly hand drawn
screens and the promised gameplay, will
sufficiently set it apart to compete in the new
year with Beneath a Steel Sky, who they see
as the main competition. Should be rather
interesting indeed.
Also on the cards for the new year is
Skeleton Crew, a graphical extravaganza,
which at the moment we know very little
about. Watch this space though. Well, not
this one exactly, but...

W ho remembers that then? Dennis Is Never Good. Dennis
Owns Naughty Gnasher. Well, you had to be in the fan
club to appreciate it, and even then it was pretty weak.
Alternative are hoping to buck the trend though, and make Dennis
good for once, in terms of software at least, because Dennis and
Gnasher is their next release.
Alternative are no newcomers to cartoon licences, but they are
new to this particular kind of game. Dennis and Gnasher is a 3D
isometric adventure which sees the curly-haired terror wreaking
havoc in his native Beanotown. No doubt Alternative are hoping that
a few of the 318,000 Beano readers will show a healthy interest in
the game's release after Christmas.

I ntelek Software, the development team behind Domark's ultra
successful Championship Manager series, have temporarily
distanced themselves from the Putney gamesters in order to
publish their own very special edition of CM93 - Championship
Manager Italia.
Since the Italian league is regionalised below Serie B, Intelek's
Oliver Collier explained that they have included the full Serie A and
B setup, with the option to buy players from the lower reaches of the
leagues, ensuring that the running speed is quicker than that of
CM93, which of course featured all the English leagues.
At the moment Championship Manager Italia is only available
mail order from Intelek, but a distribution deal with Gemsoft might
see it in the shops before too long.
Also on the cards is a brand new,
international management game. Still
in the planning stages and not likely to
reach us much before next Christmas if
indeed it goes ahead, and a European
Superleague version of CM93.
Championship Manager Italia can
be ordered by sending a cheque or
postal order for £17 made payable to
Intelek Software, at PO Box 1738,
Bournemouth, BH4 8YN.
Available on PC, Amiga and MAC.and just £14.99

EveryNoddy wants
to rule the world
S mall children are notoriously difficult
to please at the best of times, as any
parent worth their salt will tell you.
(Erm, so you're experienced in that
department then? - Paul). And as for
keeping the little blighters amused while
trying to teach them something worthwhile,
well that's nigh on impossible isn't it?
The Jumping Bean Co. don't see it this
way however, and Noddy's Big Adventure
is their second release in the specialist area
of educational software for three to seven
year olds (the first being Noddy's
Playtime). This new program acts as a
complementary package to Noddy's
Playtime, and covers different subject areas
relating to the early requirements of the
National Curriculum.
Cheers, Big Ears
Included are seven specific learning
programs which have been graded into
three levels, thus allowing even the
youngest member of the family to interact
with the programs and develop their skills.
There are also four scrolling interactive
screens, a complete Junior Word Processor
for developing story telling skills and a
linking system which involves driving
Noddy's car round Toyland thereby
improving the kids' co-ordination.
Jane Hindmarch, marketing manager
of J umping Bean, tells us: "The whole
package has been designed to be intuitive
to use. Children will not have to follow
complex on-screen instructions. The use of
language on the screen has been
deliberately limited to essential educational
aspects within any activity."
Noddy's Big Adventure is already in
your shops, priced at a reasonable
£24.99, and is apparently selling very well
in time for Christmas. Jane believes that
such popularity is down to, "... higher
brand awareness from our first title.
Noddy's Playtime, and an increase in
demand for 'wholesome' software being
educational based."
If they make enough money from this,
maybe Big Ears will be able to afford that
plastic surgery he's been dreaming of!
W ill this dinosaur craze for all things
Jurassic ever fade? Apparently not,
if computer games are anything to
go by. Millenium's addition to the current fad
is a platformer based around the adventures
of "a brave new kind of pink alien hero"
called (wait for it) Pinkie.
A resident of the planet Purple, Pinkie is
somewhat concerned about the imminent
demise of dinosaurs throughout the galaxy.
Assisted only by his newly acquired Pinkie
mobile, he must travel the universe in search
of the last few dinosaur eggs before they
become lost. Forever!
Millenium describe their new creation as -
"Just the darndest, most lovable, caring
character ever to visit this planet". In fact so
confident are they of Pinkie's success, that
they are hailing him as, "a platform hero to
rival James Pond".
Wilder claims have been made before,
but we'll have to wait until the spring before
Pinkie puts in an appearance in the shops.
Pinker than a pink thing that’s just been painted pink
with very thibk paint - he Pinky, and he’s, er, pink.
F ancy a 3.5" floppy disk drive
offering 800K of formatted storage
capacity for under fifty quid? Yeah?
Well Cumana have come up with what
they claim is the bargain of the year,
and they're available now if you're
interested. For more information ring
Cumana on 0483 503121.

but don't forget to collect all the small rectangular icons which
have been liberally scattered around the place. These represent all
manner of helpful things such as keys to closed doors, extra ammo
and credits with which you can power up or exchange your
current weapon.
Pressing the 'M' key will provide you with a helpful map of the
area and a welcome break from the frantic gameplay, while
pressing the spacebar when you
are in close proximity to a blue
information terminal will log
you onto the Infotex database.
This allows you to purchase
such things as weapons, keys
and first aid, so make sure that
you amass plenty of credits on
your journey through the alien
infested maze.
That's about it really, so
nothing much more needs to
be said apart from happy
shooting out there.
▼ The alien’s back, but you’ve got him firmly in your sights. One
squeeze of the trigger and he’ll wish he’d never been spawned.
T his latest addition to
the excellent Alien
Breed series is
currently riding high in
the full price charts, and
we're more than happy
to bring you a superb
playable demo of the
game itself.
As usual, insert the
demo disk in DFO and
switch on your Amiga.
After a short while, the
Amiga Action logo will
appear on screen along
with a short message from Team 17. Press the fire button on your
joystick as instructed, and after a few more moments loading you
should be presented with the title screen bearing the words 'Demo
Version'. Press the fire button once more and you will have two
options available to you: Start Game and Options. Highlight your
choice by using the joystick and then press the fire button.
Selecting 'Options' allows you to change the game settings -
one or two player game, choice of character, etc. Selecting 'Start
Game' enables you to start the game, surprisingly enough.
One brief mood setting screen later you will be faced with your
mission briefing. The idea is to make your way around a space
station destroying these sort of spinning metal things which are
situated in some of the rooms you pass through. Press fire once
more and the mission briefing will disappear and it will be
replaced by a plan view of the space station deck. You're into the
action at last!
You really can't go far wrong by running around firing
indiscriminately at the aliens who approach you from all angles.
▲ That spinny metal thing needs to be destroyed pretty
sharpish, but the green guy seems to have other ideas.
There's no respite for the battle weary in our Disposable Hero
demo. An overdeveloped index finger is a must.
DINOSAUR DETECTIVE
AGENCY
F inally this month there's a demo version of
Alternative Software's cute platformer, Dinosaur
Detective Agency.
Insert the disk in DFO as before and switch on your
Amiga. This time type '2' [RETURN] at the welcome screen
and Dinosaur Detective Agency should load. Press fire
when instructed to by
the game's title
screen and a short
intro sequence will
follow in which a
dinosaur in a suit tells
you that his bank has
just been robbed is that
(surreal or what?).
You play the part of
Sherloch Ness (tee-hee) and
you volunteer your sleuthing
services to the bank manager
in question. Armed with only
a camera and a comedy
reporter's hat, you set off on
/our merry way in the hope of
QfBozmg athlqttiffgim
photographing the suspect of the robbery (so it's cameras to the
ready, snap fans).
If you don't manage to solve the case, it's all over and you will
be treated(?) to some of Alternative's favourite Christmassy tunes.
We left the music running all afternoon in the office just to get us in
the festive spirit, and it even raised a mild "Ho Ho Ho!" from the
usually dour and taciturn Steve.
Not a bad selection overall you'll agree, and just the sort of
thing to keep you amused on those cold, dark, wintry nights.
DISPOSABLE HERO
N ext up is Disposable Hero, and not only is it a superb
shoot'em-up extravaganza from Gremlin Graphics, but the
demo version is exclusive to your one and only Amiga
Action. We always strive to bring you the best in playable demos
and when we can combine this with an exclusive, well we like to
give ourselves a deserved pat on the back (self congratulating
people that we are). Anyway, enough of this wallowing in our
pride, let's give you some info about the game.
Insert the disk into DFO and switch on your machine. Wait for
the welcome screen to load and then type '1' [RETURN] to load
Disposable Hero. A few short seconds later and a title screen
should appear. Press the fire button on your joystick and more
loading will commence, this time followed by an options screen.
Choose 'Options' via the
joystick to set the difficulty
and sound effects levels to
your own particular
preference. Then select 'Exit'
to return to the main menu.
Choose 'Start' from this
menu and you will be thrust
out into deepest space in a
small white ship.
You don't need us to tell you
what to do from here. There should be a joystick in your hand and
presumably it's got a fire button, so just do what comes naturally.

I f we had been taking bets on the new
number one this month, it would hove
been no surprise if we hod amassed a
large wad of money riding oh Frontier.
Fortunately, we don't fancy ourselves
much as bookies, as said game romped
home leaving the others trailing in it's
impressive wake. Premier Manager 2
and Alien Breed 2 also shoot straight into
the top three without so much as a by
your leave, and CodeMasters' racing
game. Micro Machines, gatecrashes the
festivities at number five. Zool's back
again, and no doubt Zool 2 will be
keeping it company next month.
Alien Breed II, straight in at number three and
sure to hog one of the top notches for ooh...
absolutely ages. Lucky breeders.
To b 0 perfectly honest the
Superleagues are well and truly
reinstated now, and there seems
Uttte point in writing this box for much
longer, so here’s a joke. This guy
walks into a bar with a newspaper in
one hand and a brain in the other.
“Pint of tager’’- oh, it’s just too small.
Why mess around when we can bring you
three hot beat ’em-ups for the
price of one. No reason at all...
Get down the legion with yer mates
and swap heroic stories over cheap
bitter and peanuts. “Young
buggers!"
Microcosm, Zoo! 2, Doofus,
Cyberpunks, Suburban
Commando, Campaign 2,
Sleepwalker CD32, Magic Boy,
Kingmaker, Overkill and so
many more your head’ll spin.
Exclusive review of Core Design's
excellent comic coper puzzle
rompster. Lemmings watch out!
At last the CD32 has a friend. It comes in the
shape of Mindscape and boy hove
they done it proud. Xmas lister.
There is no one type of Amiga review anymore. Whaf with CD32 and the A1200 on
top of the basic A500/600. we can now be faced with up to three different kinds of
product, or three brackets of quality, if you like. Rather than stick in a couple of
tedious lines outlining the differences of games on different machines (or lack of).
what well do. to make things easy, is show the machine we used to review the
game, and box out a comment to outline any differences if. and only if. applicable
We think you know by now that an Amiga Action review contains everything you
need to know about a game. r~rmBB9BI
and that any significant factors jJ
regarding releases across the
Amiga machines will be M •
included within those concise. | M
flowing and. er. informative
prose. So it's sorted then, yeah? K!!^ii_2aH0

BE AT EM UP
e P E C I A L
W elcome to sunny Macclesfield and the car¬
park of the world famous Europress
entertainment and leisure complex.
Never before in the history of beat'em-ups has
such an impressive array of pugilistic talent been
assembled in one place.
A capacity crowd is here to welcome the
contestants Into the arena. An audience which
includes some of the most stylish and influential
people of the day have paid an average of £30 a
head to be here, and they're certainly in for a treat.
Three seats to my left is the famous
bespectacled newspaper tycoon, Paul Roundell,
reputed to be one of the richest men in the world.
Recent rumours about dodgy business dealings and
misappropriation of pension funds have done
nothing to increase his public popularity, and a hail
of cat calls and rotten vegetables greeted his
entrance to the spectating area.
An expectant hush descends as the house lights
dim and a lone figure enters the ring. Our Master of
Ceremonies for the evening takes the mike.
"Ladieeeess and gentlemen, welcome to the
main event of the evening, and the bout you've ail
been waiting for. It's Shooowtime!
Preeesenting, in the red corner and fighting out
of Japan; a game of far eastern promise, currently
undefeated on ail formats, and looking to add the
Amiga title to its crown... Moortal Kombaaaaat!!!!
Standing in the blue corner and fighting out of
Finland; a feast of scintillating Scandinavian
scrapping, hoping to bring the crown to Northern
Europe... Elfmaniaaaa!!!!
Aaaand finally, occupying the er... green
corner, and fighting out of the famous Body Blows
stable; hoping to take the title home to the farthest
reaches of the galaxy... Boddyyy Blowwws
Gaiaaactiiic!!!!"
Definitely a heavyweight contest, taking place
over a number of tough and challenging rounds.
Three contenders in the ring at once and only one
can be the winner.

A nxious to beat the others to the punch this
time, Body Blows begins the round with an
impressive display of pugilistic talent. Twelve
fighters are available, all with their very own looks,
personalities and special moves. The characters vary
from the fairly normal-looking and blandly named
Danny, to a fiery Catherine Wheel impressionist
called Inferno, and the ghostly Phantom.
Elfmania rises from its stool with the words of
its trainer, Terry Marque, ringing in its ears,"Go on
my son, give 'em what for ". EM takes to the task
with gusto, parading its wares for all to see (in more
than one sense). Believe it or not, some of the male
characters actually fight with their wedding tackle
on full and unashamed display. A sexy female elf
also attempts to put off her opponents by
distracting them with certain parts of her body. The
referee looks certain to step in and halt the contest
in the name of moral decency, but Elfmania may yet
be allowed to make Its nudey way into the shops.
Eager not to miss out on any of the action ,
Mortal Kombat makes a late appearance. Hoping to
consolidate Its lead, MK proudly displays the
fighters at its disposal. Liu Kang, the film star-titled
Johnny Cage, and Sub-Zero (I wonder what his
special fighting move will be) are all anxious to
impress, and up to a certain point they do.
Unfortunately, all the characters look pretty
similar (apart from the boss, Coro) and lack the
varied appeal of the other two contenders.
Showbusiness means everything in this game, and
Mortal Kombat returns to its corner at the end of
the round with a bloodied nose and a bruised ego.
by beautiful women, thereby proving that there is a
heaven after ail.
Eifmania's scraps take place in an equally varied
group of locations, including a waterfall, a pirate
ship and even a prison where the prisoners rattle
their ceil bars in the background. As with Body
Blows, ail these sites are extremely well presented
and the background detail is very impressive, but
this just isn't enough to compete with a backdrop
which actually plays an active part in the game.
f
C oming straight out of the red corner kicking
and screaming is Mortal Kombat. Oriental
pipe music washing over the ringside
accompanied by superb animated sequences of each
fighter in action sets the scene perfectly. There's
even a plausible plot thrown in for good measure. A
first round knockout looks on the cards, but no.
Galactic responds with a well timed combination of
its own. A thumping up-tempo beat rocks the foe
back on its heels, and shouts "Body Blows!"
defiantly to the cowering Elfmania in the corner.
That seems to have really upset the Finnish
challenger, and here it comes in a fit of
Scandinavian rage. Not since the Viking invasion
have we been subjected to such a fearsome Nordic
sight as Elfmania, and one swift demo of the
fighters' moves and everything calms down as the
three protagonists realise that they may have
underestimated the other challengers. A little
mutual respect is certainly in order.
The opening round of any long awaited contest
is usually a spectacular affair, and this one is
definitely no exception to the rule. All three have
gained a large amount of credit in the eyes of the
paying public, but Mortal Kombat has maybe just
shaded this round on points.
ROUND 3
locations
A swift once over from the cuts man and
Mortal Kombat is ready to return, and this
time with renewed vigour. The fight
locations all have an oriental feel to them as they
provide the backdrop for the tournament taking
place. There is a tendency towards the similarity
problem experienced with the fighters, as none of
the backdrops are particularly inspiring, but then
some of them actually play an interactive part with
the fights. In The Pit, your opponent can be hurled
onto a particularly nasty bed of spikes.
The Body Blows backdrops take the form of
different planets In an imaginary solar system, and
include a futuristic Earth setting as well as a jungle
infested satellite named Gellorn-5. There's even a
planet called Feminion which is populated entirely
ROUND 2
ROUND U
movies
S ensing that the fight is quickly slipping from
its grasp, Body Blows immediately takes the
initiative and lurches forward in the hope of
getting back on level terms. Each character has his
or her own special moves, firing energy bolts or
chucking hidden weapons, but horror of horrors,
these are ail accessed in the same way. Hold down
the fire button for long enough and all the
characters will do their party trick. Admittedly this
makes the fighting easier, but it won't be enough of
a challenge for most people.
The crowd begin to boo, so Mortal Kombat
begins to showboat a little. An Ali shuffle, an eye¬
catching windmill with one arm followed by a swift
jab to the head with the other soon has the baying
public cheering though. A surreptitious mention of
the fact that ail MK characters have different special
moves which are all accessed using individual
joystick movements, has them standing on their
seats and applauding wildly.
Jealously, Elfmania comes forward with its
special moves tucked under its ample forearms.
"Look at these" roars Elfers, displaying an
impressive array of special armoury. "This elf guy
can move so quickly he sends his opponents into a
dizzying faint. And that's not all, my Sumo
character can destroy you by shaking the earth
beneath your very feet!".
Mortal Kombat turns its back, not even
bothering to mention that these moves are also
carried out in a simplistic way reminiscent of Body
Blows, and greets the end of the round with a smug
grin, knowing that the lead has been consolidated.
ROUND 5
S peed being the key in this particular round.
Mortal Kombat is the first on its feet and in
the centre of the ring. Almost at once,
Elfmania leaves Its stool ready to continue with the
contest. Body Blows is the last to
rise, but in its defence is still
feeling a bit groggy from the last
round. A quick burst of the special
A1200 smelling salts from the
trainer and there is little to choose
from between Galactic and the
Great White Finnish Hope.
TWO loio^or gomo
M ortal Kombat simply swaggers into the ring
this time, but as usual, pride comes before a
fall. Elfmania and Body Blows launch a
blistering attack on the champion elect. MK has no
response to the claim that a two player game
involving a fight between the same character can be
very confusing, as there is not enough colour
differentiation between the two fighters.
After a brief knockdown and a mandatory eight-
count from the referee, MK staggers back to its
corner and slumps on the stool in front of the
worried seconds. It's ali to play for, and now we've
got a real fight on our hands.
eeAT'CM UP
SPECIAL
At rri OS lo h e
T he rounds seem to be going quicker as the
fight progresses, and I'm sure it won't be long
before we see an end to this titanic tussle.
Elfmania slugs it out with superb animation
showing incredible detail such as the fighter's
muscle movement, while Body Blows parries in
dogged fashion with graphics of similar excellence
and digitised speech effects. Mortal Kombat is still
feeling a little unsure of itself after the last
disastrous round, but is determined to make amends
in no uncertain fashion. The graphics in MK are by
far the most realistic of the three, and although it
must be said that both Elfmania and Body Blows are
not striving for realism, they lack a touch of
excitement and tension because of this.
The crowd begins to sense that the end is near,
and the end of round bell is greeted with frenzied
cheers of excitement and anticipation.
B ody Blows Galactic, looking a little bit
ragged around the edges now, slowly
shambles forward looking for a knockout
punch. Its Tournament option allows either four or
eight players to participate in a sort of round-robin
punch up.
Elfmania ducks the desperate haymaker and
replies with a subtle little jab in the form of its
'Connect 4' style gameplay. Instead of just
progressing on to the next fighter after a bout has
been won, you progress your way across a map of
Elfmania choosing another opponent in a different
part of the country, in an attempt to join together
an unbroken line of victories.
This is a welcome difference from the usual
format, and constitutes a clever and well timed
punch that sends Body Blows onto the canvas.
Ten seconds later and there are only two
contestants left in the ring. Flushed with success,
Elfmania attempts to repeat the punch on Mortal
Kombat, but is flattened with a spectacular right
hook in the shape of MK's special 'Test of Strength'
sub-level, which invites the player to try and chop
through blocks of wood, rock and iron at certain
points in the game. Elfmania tries to get up from the
canvas, but is knocked unconsciousness by Mortal
Kombat's spine danglingiy gruesome death moves.
This time it's all over.

Well, let’s have a look. Team 17 like to give a bit of
variation, and have kindly provided an A1200
specific version of Body Blows Galactic. More
detailed backgrounds seem to constitute the major
changes, and talking about major changes - er,
that’s about it. The main problem reviewing these
three games is that all of them are excellent, and
although the A1200 provides a little bit of extra speed
and lessens between screen loading times, the fact is
that all are well worth buying for their standard¬
functioning capabilities. What a big differences box,
I’m glad to see the back of that, believe me...

can be lurking just
about anywhere.
Be especially
watchful of the
tree line.
B it of a controversial incident going on
here I think. You can tell right from the
outset when the title screen boldly
informs you that this product is in absolutely
no way endorsed by the Royal British
Legion. This has obviously been included
for a reason (see our news pages for more
Information), but I do seem to remember
that there was some kind of protest by
the famous war veterans association.
Cannon Fodder is controversial all
round come to think of It. From the game's
slogan, which tells you "war has never been
so much fun", right through to the dubious
nature of the gameplay, the subject matter is
dodgy to say the least. And to be honest I don't care.
I'm sure many people will be up in arms at the mere
thought of the game. But don't get me wrong, I can
understand why any decent parent would be
concerned that something as insignificant as a game
would give their offspring the wrong impression
about something as gruesome as war. Nevertheless I
really do feel that anything other than mild concern
would be an over reaction. After all, it is just
harmless fun, and to hopefully set your minds at
rest, I looked at Cannon Fodder immediately after
looking at that other highly controversial game.
Mortal Kombat. So I can honestly say that I didn't
notice myself having any abnormally violent
tendencies, at least until Paul happened to return to
his desk that is.
Cannon Fodder is programmed by Sensible
Software who need absolutely no Introduction to
anyone. But just in case you don't know, they are the
team behind what Is arguably the most playable and
enjoyable game ever seen - Sensible Soccer. At least,
that was probably the best, as at this moment in time
I firmly believe this release to better it in terms of,
well, everything. I know it's a different type of game
to Soccer, but the main appeal for a lot of people lies
in the fact that it Is easily accessible to everyone,
whether they like football or not. Cannon Fodder has
exactly that same quality. No matter what type of
game you prefer you are guaranteed to love this.
You control a team of, for want of a better
word, squaddies who must risk themselves In a
series of increasingly dangerous missions. These fall

into seven main categories: kill all of the enemy,
destroy enemy buildings, destroy an enemy factory,
rescue ail hostages, kidnap an enemy leader, protect
ail civilians and get them all home.
To begin with you will not be thrown in at the
deep end. Sensibly you are taken through a series of
what are basically training missions to allow you to
become accustomed to the way things work. You are
never allowed to become complacent though, as the
next mission is always guaranteed to push you just
that little bit further. And when you get into the later
stages there are some really stiff tasks that require
some heavy duty thought from you, not to mention a
sprinkling of strategic planning.
One important factor to remember is that you
are not actually a member of the team in the
physical sense, but control the actions of your
men from a distance. You cannot actually
come to any harm, so if you want to try
something but aren't entirely sure that it is a

good idea, who cares? Go right ahead and try it
anyway. Doesn't matter if a few of your guys bite
the bullet. They're expendable, just go and sign up a
few more eager recruits from Boot Hill and try your
luck once again.
At your troops' disposal are many different
varieties of vehicles and weapons. To begin with
they are on foot, but later on transport ranges from
jeeps to skidooz (jet ski type vehicles that can travel
across snow and ice).
Super bazooka
Weapons include the standard issue machine gun,
grenades and bazookas, but the more explosive
weapons will need to be found lying around. You
will also have to be alert at all times to booby traps.
Absolutely any object could lead to the demise of
several members of your troop, so vigilance is
paramount. I have lost count of the amount
of times my men have been blown to
smithereens by a wired tree or even a
snowman, but once you've been hit by one
once you will not be hit by it again.
Above all it is the gruesomely realistic
touches which stand out in Cannon Fodder.
The dead soldiers floating face down In the
river never fail to crack me up and
there really is nothing quite like
hearing the tortured screams of a
mortally wounded enemy before
putting him out of his misery with a
single round to the head.
I don't like marking games
excessively high. No game ever comes
that close to perfection, and it has to
be an exceptional game if it is going to
get much over ninety from me. I never
thought I would say it, but I think
Cannon Fodder is just that game.
Outstanding in every department.
◄ Cannon Fodder is packed with
reaiistic touches, such as this one, with
the soidier fioating face down.

O nly last month in my Frontier review, I
stated that I had only given that
game 937© because no game would
ever be less than seven per cent from
perfection. Sensible Software have forced
me to eat those words almost immediately.
Not that I mind though, when I have
something as good as this to console myself
with. They had the best game of ’92 with
Sensible Soccer, and have easily done so
again with Cannon Fodder.

JtCWflV •AMIOA ACTION
Dinosaur mania is spreading!
You've escaped Jurassic Park...
now escape the Dinosaur Detective
Agency if you dare!
n case you haven't already had enough of
dinosaurs, Alternative Software have raised yet
another hero from the dust to grab your attention
and your money. Armed with his trusty camera and
magnifying glass Sherloch (our hero) sets off to
collect the masses of evidence leading to the capture
of the dratted culprits of various nasty crimes.
From the offset of his journey he is
plagued with little scoundrels in the
form of Brontosaurus and
Pterodactyls who are determined
to knock him off his track and
into the dingiest dinosaur depths.
But our hero will not be
overcome as he is determined to solve all the clues
and catch the guilty party in the act.
This is definitely not as easy as it sounds.(And it
sounds jazzy with five original and five classical
tunes.) In fact it is pretty difficult. There are four
cases and Sherloch Ness is commissioned to solve
each one. The aim of the game is to work your way
through a maze of puzzles and to grab a snap of the
ever-elusive culprit.
Despite the odds Sherloch has to also collect
flashbulbs to equip his camera in readiness for when
he is faced with the culprit. As with any good
detective story he needs evidence that he has caught
the suspect, and his mighty camera is that infallible
witness. It is necessary to use shots sparingly, as they
are Sherloch's sole source of evidence. Having said
that the camera is invaluable for blinding any pesky
spiders or other such baddies, giving just enough
time to nip past them.
Always a good tip to remember is to pick up any
friendly dinosaur faces as these serve to renew
energy and are extremely valuable assets if Sherloch
Is to make the final level. If he can also
pick up the dotted golden coins along
his tumultus track, then he reaps
the reward of bonus points.
To get around Sherloch is
nifty as well as quick thinking.
Jumping and bouncing is ail very
well to escape danger and reach
the higher terrains, but burrowing is
called for too. By tucking himself up into
a little ball he is able to dig or climb whenever
the texture of the ground allows him.
The Looney Tunes style arcade adventure
has colourful graphics and is as much fun as its
sound track. It definitely provides a puzzle,
while the sub games set in wild cowboy style, a
street and a kitchen all provide interesting
alternative settings.
It's not so puzzling that it is completely
inaccessible though, and with a little thought
and application, the later levels can be reached
and savoured in ail their prehistoric splendour.
A good effort from Alternative.

S herloch’s capers certainly provide a
source of heightened activity as he
leaps, bounds and burrows. As well as
providing fun graphics, Alternative Software
have also provided tricky puzzles which
maintain the interest in finding the culprit.
The game does encourage players to think
on their toes to conquer the set quest.
Having said all that dinosaurs are becoming

them must have been drained by now.

Venture into the future with a smite
on your face, a droid under each
arm and a brand new CD32 in
your spacious backpocket.
N OW the CD32 machine has come in for a bit
of stick from certain quarters recently, not
least in the dodgy joypad department. So it
came as a nice surprise to learn that at least one
reputable software company have decided to 'go for
broke' as it were and invest an enormous amount
of dosh in the new technology.
Mindscape have taken a break from
promoting Alfred Chicken (until the next by-
election at least), and are devoting an awful
lot of time and money to the production of '
what is easily the most ambitious and impressive
CD32 project to date.
Liberation is the sequel to the highly successful

Captive of misty memory, which had RPG fanatics
quite literally foaming at the mouth as they
eulogized about how great It was. A few short years
later, enter a new hi-tech gizmo, and enter
Captive 2 to transport role players to even
greater heights of unashamed enthusiasm.
The action takes place on Earth in the
27th Century, a planet very different from
what we know today. The Earth is dying as a
combined result of adverse weather
conditions and commercial exploitation by a
small number of large, scruple-free organisations.
One of these corporations has been given the
role of law enforcement agency, and as Is usually the
case when profit comes before service, any problems
are quickly and efficiently hushed up before being
brushed under the carpet.
Recent disturbing evidence has come to light
linking a new model of security droid with the
murder of suspects during routine interrogations.
However, having spent a fortune on developing the
droids, the security people are determined that this
investment should not go to waste, and have
mounted a cover up operation to protect their
interests. The cover up involves framing innocent
civilians for the murder of the interrogated suspects,
so straight from the off we are left in no doubt about
who the real baddies are.
Oversized weapon
Only one man can see through this bureaucratic
sham, and it's down to you to play the part of the
good guy In pursuit of truth, honour, justice and all
that other really righteous stuff.
If Liberation was a Hollywood blockbuster, it
would probably be another convenient excuse for
Arnold Shwarzenegger to strap his ridiculously
oversized weapon into his holster, and grunt his way
around a futuristic landscape, shootin' and-a
blasphemin' as he goes. In this computer generated
world however, the hero goes by the name of Trill.
Hats off to Mindscape for creating the first computer
character to be named after a brand of bird seed.
Absurd monickers apart, you soon begin to
realise after loading that something special is about
to happen. A dazzlingly effective animated intro
sequence bursts out of the screen at you,
accompanied by a specially commissioned dark
atmospheric orchestral piece. The CD32 really does
come into it's own at this point, with the stunning
graphics, superb digitised speech and moody music
pushing the little box of tricks to it's limits. The
whole intro sequence even bears watching more
than once, which is virtually unheard of here at
Amiga Action Towers.

four droids around

remote control.
On their travels
they will happen
upon dour, dank
and characterless
buildings, over-zealous
policemen, rude office
receptionists and seedy
underworld characters. In fact, if
you weren't sat in front of the telly, you could
almost be in the centre of Manchester. All thatis
needed to complete the picture is storm clouds and
the disgusting whiff from the Boddington's brewery
(maybe Mindscape will include a scratch n' sniff
card with their next game).
Anyway, by walking around and conversing with
the city's inhabitants, the droids gradually build up
enough information to provide evidence of a
conspiracy within the ranks of the security forces,
thereby freeing the innocents who have been framed
for the interrogation murders by the police and
completing the game. Sounds easy enough doesn't it.
▼ cenes reminiscent of the 1980 $ miners' strike are used during the
intro sequence to create the gioomy atmosphere of Liberation.

M indscape are extremely proud of
Liberation, and have invested an
awful lot of money in the
development of this groundbreaking
venture. Their undoubted commitment to the
CD32 should also be applauded, and if this
is the shape of things to come in this

SHOOT’EM UP
Ever fancied
shrinking and
venturing into
the brain?
Go ahead...
I n a galaxy far, far away the war between
Cybertech and Axiom has been raging for longer
than the enemies care to remember. Cybertech,
the largest corporation, was merely an innocent
enemy to their ruthless competitor who blamed
them for the untimely death of their former
President - an act that Argen Stark could not forgive.
When Cybertech's Chief Research Scientist
suggests controlling Cybertech through the existing
President by implanting a miniaturised brain-
manipulation droid. Stark the President of Axiom
perks up. This was the opportunity he was holding
out for, the chance to manipulate every move and
every corporate decision Cybertech would ever
make. The chance for his revenge. And the beauty of
it all is that nobody need ever know- not even
Korsby, their current President.
If this sounds sinister it looks it too. The graphics
are presented in a cinematic 1920's style,
incorporating a particularly brilliant piece of
intro footage, with the suit-clad people
filmed against a background of texture
maps which creates the dark, eerie
prologue. To capture the unique
atmosphere, 44,000 frames of rendered
information take the game into the dimensions of
creative media.
From the planets right down to the Way Station
the action presentation envelops the player in the
game. The dark action-filled intro is a credit to the
designers, who are responsible for the excellent
computer directed models with the super imposition
of realistic people.
You are taken inside the story to the point
where both companies have decided to inject a
human guinea pig at roughly the same time. The
difference is that Cybertech is researching for the
good of mankind, and their arch rival. Axiom is
interested only in self gain and profit.
The unfortunate victim undergoes an out-of-this
galaxy operation. Worked upon by the doctor, the
sinister op displays the dicey dealings behind the
closed doors of an alien operating room. The needle
has been inserted and a countering operation must
be performed immediately.
Seek and destroy
As the good guy working for Cybertech you are
injected into the human body in order to destroy the
evil Axiom agents who are rampaging through the
body of the innocent Cybertech patient. The first
area to be explored is the Cephalic vein - the large
vein running down the side of the forehead. From
the moment the probe enters the body we are
thrown into a world which increases in speed and
confusion. The human body is alive in graphic detail
with everything from blood flowing and veins
pumping, to lungs breathing and the heart beating.
The player is greeted with a whirlwind of
capillary tubes. You know nothing about the
world you have entered but that it is
different from anything you have
experienced before, as well as being by
fay the most dangerous mission you
have ever attempted.
A A vicious pod- like
enemy hurtles its way
through the victim 's blood.
▼ It seems this fearsome man left his
guacomole facepack on too long.
The overwhelming visuals are taking their toll
mesmerising you when the first of the enemies
attack. These arrive in the form of red and white
blood cells. This calls for strategic planning. It is not
necessarily the best idea to simply blast them with
the onboard weaponry. This move would result in
definite death if the balance of the different types of
blood cells were to change.
To continue the road to conquering the alien
bug it is vital that you navigate your way around
them, trying not to get hit which results in a loss of
energy. Although the shock of the intricately

T o find out the meaning of interactive
media simply play Microcosm. The
introduction sequence is excellent and
the ideas superb and futuristic. Having
praised the effort behind the ground¬
breaking graphics though, it must be said
that the actual gameplay has suffered as a
result. Flying through capillaries, shooting
the enemy, and simply deciding which route
to take rapidly becomes tedious though.
Potential for Microcosm 2?
REVIEWED BY Rachel

Couldn’t agree more I’m afraid. Snazzy f
animated intros do not maketh the game
as far as I'm concerned, and once the j
actual game starts, things go rapidly |
downhill at an alarming rate of knots. I

animated cells are an initial attraction, after flying
round capillaries of exactly the same appearance
the novelty soon wears off and the game takes on a
slightly samey feel.
Pace race
There Is no time for tea breaks in this game. Within
a split second the next batch of enemies launch an
attack. This is in the form of toxins and germs which
can be easily exterminated by the single shot laser
which Is the only form of weaponry available at this
stage in the game. When the enemy rears its ugly
head enclosed in their heavily armoured pods, the
time is ripe to seek out and collect more powerful
weapons. These are sparsely scattered throughout
the inner walls and veins of the body, and you are
up against the clock as you race to chase the pods
before they reach the body's vital organs in that
painful, fatal style.
Admittedly the graphics from Microcosm are
excellent but after a while the gameplay grows
slightly tedious, as most major decision seems to be
which direction to take at the next fork. There are
five levels to the futuristic game, ranging from
chases around the blood and one side of the brain,
to the bone, heart and eventually across to the other
side of the brain.

Microcosm unashamedy borrows a good deal of
its plot from the Fantastic journey, and many of its
scenarios hail from from the Spielberg movie Inner
Space (Hey, you'd never guess - Paul).
If a fast chase with an exciting scenario is your
style and you follow the concept
that objects such as men and
probes can be shrunk to
microscopic proportions
and injected into a
human then Microcosm
is definitely up your
(albeit similar) street.

It’s back to the good
old days of war,
pestilence, famine and
untimely noble deaths.
KINGMAKER
W ay back in 1974, when flared trousers
were the order of the day, and the
embryonic Take That were still soiling
their nappies (they still are aren't they - Ed), a
boardgame entitled Kingmaker first saw the
light of day. Almost 20 years, and hundreds of
thousands of sales later, this recreation of the
War of the Roses is still going strong, and now
for the first time has been kindly converted Into
a form suitable for your lovely Amiga.
For those of you who are familiar with the
boardgame version and may be a bit lacking in
the mates department. Kingmaker has all the
same rules and features as your favourite
medieval masterpiece, and also offers the
computer as a willing opponent.
The majority though will probably have no idea
what it's all about, so here's a helpful insight into the
world of chain mail and them funny helmets with the
bit of metal at the front to protect your nose.
Residents of Lancashire
(small-minded, ugly,
smelly people)(watch it,

looking bunch of folk) will know at least the basics
of the War of the Roses, and that it was a
particularly pointless affair that they teach you
about in those boring history lessons at school.
Kingmaker attempts to simulate this period by
including all the warring noblemen of the time, and
gosh! even their heraldic shields are historically
accurate, so I'm informed. Such attention to detail is
apparent throughout the game, and it's obvious that
a great deal of time and effort has gone into
faithfully recreating the original boardgame version.
In fact, the publicity material claims that the game
has been in development for over 18 months - isn't
that amazing!
As the title suggests, the general idea is to
mobilise your forces and elevate your chosen
monarch-to-be to the crown. This is achieved by
guiding your troops through the British Isles,
executing and pillaging as they go, until all your
rivals have been eliminated. Your chosen monarch is
then crowned, and you have achieved your goal of
becoming Kingmaker.
The mouse controlled system makes playing the
game simple enough, and US Gold are particularly
pleased with the fact that there is no 'perfect'
strategy which wins time and time again. Fans of the
original boardgame and novice strategists alike
should find that Kingmaker provides them with an
ample slice of "Aha - this isn't half bad" cake.

’ve been a bit disappointed with the latest
I crop of strategy games, so Kingmaker
comes as a pleasant surprise. I suppose
that buying the rights to a very successful
and established boardgame was a pretty
shrewd move by US Gold, as they knew that
with the right development they would be
onto a winner. They certainly deserve a
small pat on the back. A1200 owners will
find that the gameplay is a little quicker, and
that’s about it.

eECONO OPINION
I Sorry. A miss for me. Everything in
Kingmaker is far too slow for my
Impatient taste, and I can’t help
feeling that the near 40 quid price
tag is a little too high.

Film tie-ins are
generally a bit
iffy. This one is
no exception.
It has to be said that the shoot ’em-up
section is nothing more than a poor
mans Project X, and that wasn’t very
good either.
The opening section is far too difficult, as well
as not being very good.
SUBURBA
COMMAND
I feel the urge to write this whole review
in capital letters, but realise that it would
stand very little chance of making it
through our militaristic subbing regime.
This may sound like a strange urge to
you, but seeing as the games main
character is a professional wrestler it
seems strangely appropriate.
It has always puzzled me why all of
these so called sportsmen feel the urge to
stand two feet away from a camera and
shout very loud for a couple of minutes.
Anyway, that is not really relevant here, so
I'll just get on with it shall I? The game itself has
absolutely nothing to do with wrestling whatsoever,
and as the title would suggest, is loosely tied in with
the film of the same name.
I haven't seen the film, but apparently the main
character, Shep Ramsey is fighting the forces of evil
commanded by the dreaded General Suitor.
Following an epic space battle Shep's damaged ship
crash-lands in an old deserted discotheque.
Unfortunately, for Shep at least, the General
discovers his location and sends a team of bounty
Not really fair, but with your fists of doom

hunters after him. Shep realises that the only way to
rid the universe of the General's evil is in a fight to
the finish on Earth.
Second rate
The game takes place over seven wildly varied levels
which range from standard shoot 'em-up action to
fast and frantic platform scenarios, none of which, I
am afraid to say, are particularly exciting. The whole
game is distinctly second rate if you ask me, and this
is particularly disappointing, as far as
Alternative are concerned, what with
Sherloch Ness and the Dinosaur Detective
Agency and the excellent Jet Strike.
The shoot 'em-up section is very difficult
at first, and seeing as this is the opening
sequence I'm sure this is going to be very off
putting to the player. When you finally
succeed the platform sections are a real let
down and you find it hard to justify the effort
of getting through the first part to play this,
and to be honest, I would be very surprised if
anyone could be bothered playing this for
more than an hour at the absolute most.
Hulk, sorry Shep, gets dazed quite often
at least he does when I m playing.

DIFFICULTY Tricky
i t is sad to see Alternative letting
themselves down by releasing this in what
has otherwise been a good month for
them. Obviously this is pitched at the kid’s
market, as indeed was the film, but if this is
the case, why is it so difficult to get into? I
can’t think of many kids who will persevere.
The graphics are quite nice, with a good
cartoony feel, but they really aren’t enough
to save the game from tumbling into the
mediocrity category.
REVIEWED BY; Steve
Definitely the poor relation of this month’s
Alternative trio. The main sprite doesn’t
pack the punch I’d expect of Hulk
Hogan, and the action isn’t quite as
frantic as it might have been.

GEN ESI A
enesia did the rounds a while back under a
banner flown by the Daze Marketing group.
Previews and so on were done and most of
them, my own included, were very positive about
the prospects for the game.
It came as somewhat of a shock then to learn
that, for some unexplained reason. Daze were no
longer linked with it, and it was now to be realeased
by Mindscape. Just why this has come about we will
maybe never know, but if it is anything other than a
legal constraint I find myself struggling to see the
reasoning behind such a decision.
On first viewing Genesia seems like a very thinly
veiled Populous rip off, and to a certain extent this is
definitely true. The playing interface for example is
identical as far as I can remember, with perhaps the
occassional tweak here and there. The graphics are
also in a very similar vein and the whole thing is

that this is a very brief summation of what is
probably one of the deepest running strategy games
ever, but you must admit, that's reasonably close to
the mark.
In Genesia you are not a God, in fact, far from
different name. That is until you
scratch beneath the surface, and it is
there that the wholesale differences
make there presence felt. In
the Bullfrog classic you
were an omnipotent
being seeking to
gain supremacy
over your rival by
manipulating
it. You are a political leader and must successfully
run the small land that you are in charge of. At this
point, it is difficult to resist a jibe at the ineptitude of
the current political establishment to achieve this
aim in our own fair land, but that would be far too
predictable so I won't bother.
At the beginning, the territory you control is far
too small for your own personal ambitions, and your
immediate aim is to expand your land and
population to such dizzying heights that your

fiendish lust for power can finally be fulfilled.
Flying headlong into such taxing task, if you will
pardon the pun, is not to be advised. The best way to
approach the game is to devise a plausible strategy,
and of course realise that your meteoric rise to
fame will not happen overnight.
Before you consider expanding your land you
must take into account the natural resources and
climate of the area you desire. For example, two
of the natural features you should look out for
before moving are water supply, and the amount of
available timber in the area. Obviously without an
adequate supply of water your people cannot
survive, and your crops cannot flourish. Without
enough wood your society can't develop, and
therefore people will leave the area in droves.
This is the key piece in the jigsaw of your paradise. If references to the instruction manual, which really is

OPINION BY: Paul

enough quantities you shouldn't struggle too badly at
all. Fail to do this and you'll always be struggling to
find your feet in what is a very complex strategy
game indeed.
Without skilled craftsmen such as carpenters,
blacksmiths and woodsmen you will be unable to
build the essentials, such as houses, and without
brainy types such as inventors and architects you
will never manage to progress beyond the Genesian
equivalent of the Stone Age.
Developing a recipe for success seems very
daunting at first, and ail of the factors that you need
to consider only initially serve too confuse the
unskilled novice, but as with all games, play it for a
while and all of the different aspects will begin to
fall into place, albeit slowly.
Perseverance Is the key, and of course, frequent
done this you can begin to make real headway, and
will hopefully become engrossed.
The only way you will really be able to tell
whether Genesia will be your thing or not is to ask
yourself, did I really like Populous? If the answer is
yes, then you can be almost guaranteed to enjoy
this. If, like me, you are a little unsure, then chances
are you will not really get your thirty quids worth.
It's an excellent game, it's just not for everyone.

iUMfAA MCnOM * REVIEW
W hat can you do with a bloke and a stick to
make a humorous and playable puzzle
game? I mean, a stick? You can throw it,
hit things with it and damn little else to be honest, so
right from the start, the omens for top computer
japery aren't exactly good.
Fortunately, Core Design aren't a superstitious
bunch, preferring to rely on their not inconsiderable
talents, which on this occasion have provided them,
and the rest of us too, with one of the most original
and fun puzzlers in ages.
Except it isn't just a puzzle game, incorporating
as it does dozens of elements that most platform
games would be more than a little bit jealous of.
Anyway, Bubba is a delivery man, and on his way to
the zoo one day with his cargo of animals, he finds
himself in a bit of a pickle. Poor bloke had
negotiated his way through the Animal Liberation
Front roadblock, was feeling really pleased with
himself, when suddenly WFIAP! - there he was stuck
on an alien planet with nothing but a stick to, er,
help him.
So alright then, that might be a heavily
truncated version of the actual plot, (which in all
fairness deserves some mention for its typically
excellent Core animation), but it serves us well
enough. Now to get on with the important job of
finding out whether the whole thing is any good.
Big bloke
Bubba is a massive sprite along the lines of another
Core character (the bloke out of Premiere who
needed to collect the movie reels), and is brilliantly
portrayed in more than 170 frames of animation -
more than any pixellated chap would surely need for
his task of running around waving a stick. But no.
Bubba doesn't just wave his stick around you see -
he uses it at every opportunity to get himself out of
trouble and onto new levels.
In fact, having previewed the demo a few
months ago, this was my only worry. Would we find
that Bubba (or more pointedly, the programmers)
soon ran out of ideas for what to do with his stick,
relegating what looked like an innovative idea to a
standard platform game? Happily not, and each of
the five long (well four long and one short, to be
perfectly honest) levels present new stick-related

problems to solve.
Not too much information is
forthcoming, either throughout the
game or in the manual, which isn't a
particular problem, merely a way of
stretching out the puzzles. Which, just by the way,
really do not need much stretching out in the first
place since they are excellent.
All of the levels are very different in the way
they look, whilst not straying from the overall
colourful graphical style of the game.
Once the easy forest level is out of the way,
you'll find yourself on board Waldo's ship (Waldo
being the "nasty" chap who relieved you of your
civil liberties in the first place), with several new
stick skills required if escape is to be achieved.
This is the beauty of the game. Not only does,
erm, Stix play an integral part in the solving of just
about every problem, but you need to use him to
manipulate other objects in order to continue on
your way. And not just inanimate things such as

rocks and twigs. A host of reasonably friendly alien
creatures inhabit the levels, any one of whom might
lend a helping hand should you give him or her a
poke in the correct orifice.
Facial blemish
After each level there is a bonus round, hosted on
the stopwatch by Zitt and Zott, two tiny blobs who
also crop up during the main game, usually in a state
of combat, but who might help you out if the fancy
takes them.
Despite the fact it is hailed as a puzzle game,
Buhba 'N' Stix looks for all the world like a
platformer, (well OK, it's both) but unlike most
games of this kind it doesn't suffer from the age old
programmers get-out of platforms-there-for-the-
sake-of-it syndrome. There is a
purpose for seemingly everything
that is interactive on the screen. The
programmers stressed that there is
nowhere you can get completely
stuck in the game and taking this
with the usual pinch of salt, I must
confess that it does ring true when
you come to play the game.
The chances are that Bubba 'N'
Stix isn't the most difficult puzzle
game ever created, but don't be
fooled by the fact that there are only
five levels. The difficulty curve is
excellent, and the bonus rounds -
should you reach them - add a
whole new depth to the gameplay of
what is an excellent concept, very
well implemented.

REVIEW
Til be your
dawg. “ And It Is
- oh, It Is...
J ust recently the Amiga software scene has
been looking good. Less poor games have been
filtering through, and with the arrival of
quality gear in the form of Frontier, Alien Breed 2,
F11 7A and others, we've been virtually spoilt for
choice over what to buy.
In no way do all Amiga games fully utilise the
16-bit graphics, and neither do they push its sound
chip to the limit very often, but for the most part,
the majority of offerings provide a decent enough
blend of the above two, plus the necessary gameplay
element to appeal to the intended audience.
Doofus doesn't. Not by a long chalk, and ^
while it isn't my style to opine upon a game
until nearer to the end of a review, it has
to be said that this is a very, very poor M
effort indeed. I
Throughout the 12 levels you
(who might be called Doofus, but it
isn't made clear) have to negotiate
your way past bizarre-looking
creatures, jump over ponds, avoid
gaps, and generally do platformy things
until you get to the end.
OK, you might think, nothing original
here, but fair's fair, isn't that the case with
90 per cent of games these days? Yes it is, and
Doofus actually goes one further than most in that it
introduces another character in the form of your
trusty mutt, whom you must protect from the game-
dwelling beasties.
Oo, you are awful
Fine - if this had worked it might have made the
game a little bit more than just plain bad, but the
problem here is that the whole affair is simply aaaw-
ful. The graphics are colourful enough, and there's
even a parallax background, but the sprites are the
kind that would look shameful even in the worst PD
game - boy and dog surely don't sport more than
about a dozen frames of animation between them.
And what about the scrolling? Well, it scrolls -
that's one thing I suppose, but isn't it just the most
inexcusable kind of programming when once the last
screen has disappeared you aren't allowed to travel
back towards the left?
The Dog Flouse bonus rounds are laughably easy
one-screen jobs where "the dog" has a huge amount
of time to gather pixelly objects. Lives are far too
easy to lose because even the dog can do it for you,
the enemies are badly drawn and move in such a
way as to make certain moves nearly impossible -
look you get my drift by now without me having to
go overboard. Let's just say that Doofus isn't the
kind of game you want to be adding to your
collection, and leave it at that.
Our graphically stunted hero jumps in an unlikely
fashion, closely followed by his crap dog.

headed pet dog, Zoon with him - a rather
dim-witted animal. Well at least Zool 2 shows
the potential for some imagination...
Setting the scene (or chaos), the 'Nth'
Dimension is featured in its full form once again.
And Zool has returned as Guardian of Nth's
Imagination, Protector of Creative Thought and
Defender of Positive Action. To remind Zool
veterans and inform Zool initiates the 'Nth'
Dimension is not one specific place. It leaks into
every crack and corner, in a nutshell it is the
embodiment of goodness and like every good and
perfect phenomena it is under constant attack from
Krool and his assistant. Mental Block.
Both are the enemies of Zool and the 'Nth'
Dimension. They reek havoc as they seek to destroy
the power and creativity of Imagination wherever it
exists. But this time it's worse than ever.
The ranks of goodness are cracking, crying out
for help. Zool hears the cry and dynamically rushes
to the rescue, hotly pursued by Zooz who, I think is
seeking adventure of a different kind.
The time is ripe to start your next mission.
Mental Block is anticipating your arrival with a
vengeance. Your goal is to collect 99% of the tokens
found on each level before you can leave it. Don't be
conned into thinking that Mental Block is out of the
picture though. You'll be faced with a number of
tests which include false walls to break down,
objects to jump on that will give you extra spring in
your step and light tubes to whizz through.
Y ou've seen the cute black extra-terrestrial
bouncing around your screen and if you're
particularly unfortunate you might even have
bumped into him. But if you haven't, he may have
already found his way onto your flask, bubble bath
bottle or even the soles of your shoes. (What a
pleasurable thought to stamp him out).
This time he's not returned alone as he's brought
along his girlfriend Zooz, who is very much like
Zool... short and pesky, but with a sizzlingly
provocative figure (Er! - Paul). And where Zool is an

World in action? No Zoo! is taking a piece of
the action as he hits the music.
wsmm
H es cute, he's rotund, he's nippy... but
he's also annoying. If you're an
original Zool fan then I'm sure that the
introduction of Zooz and Zoon will be a
welcome feature to you. Zool 2 certainly
contains more variety, levels and gameplay
than Zool 1. Having said that there is only so
much that a cosmic character who pelts
along a multi-coloured platform can offer...
and I personally think that Zool is beginning
to stretch his potential.
ReViswEDeY: Rachel
just to add more confusion as you battle on with
your mission, Mental Block likes to make some
objects invisible. However he is not 100% perfect at
it. On the other hand, in your favour are the
occasional flashes of inspiration that come your way.
Before you embark on your adventure you must
choose who you are (Zool or Zooz), whatever level
you require and whether you want music or not.
There's always the danger when companies bring out
a sequel to a smash hit (and there is no denying
that's what Zool was) that it will essentially be the
same game again with different locations. And I must
admit that I had doubts about whether Gremlin
could actually produce a game of the same quality
while remaining original.
Movin’ on up
Zool's favourite old moves have been retained
with the kicks, slides, punches and scaling of walls.
In fact Zool has gained few extra advantages apart
from his admittedly impressive backflip and crawling
actions. Zooz on the other hand is swift, spins, and
is able to break through weakened floor coverings,
each action being original to this particular game.
All this is quite fun to watch and initially a novelty,
but you soon realise that Zool 2 boasts no
fundamental innovations.
If music is the name of the
game then you may well be
pleasantly surprised by the
different tunes that accompany
each world. Whereas Zool 1
was based around the
wonderful world of sweets,
tools and the like, Zool 2's six
levels follow a varied pattern.
Zooming through Swan Lake,
zapping ducks as well as smashing
The sexy friend of Zool
takes an eggsitingly
humungous leap as she
dashes for cash.
eggs, forking some double dealings at Snaking Pass
and interacting in some shocking sagas at Bulberry
Hill are not all that hurtle your way. All this along
with Mount Ice's frozen food horrors, the Curse of
the Pharaoh at Tooting Common, as well as Mental
Block's own Crazy House necessitates keeping tight
hold of your senses and setting the controls for
maximum weirdness.
Following his mother's advice, Zool recognises
the importance of staying in good health, so he zaps
the bonus hearts that rise after a number of enemies
have been despatched.
Life is never easy for Zool and Zooz and if they
are going to overcome the forces of non-imagination
they will need all the help they can get. But all is not
lost when they are desperate. Caches of smart
weapons have been hidden throughout the occupied
worlds by Nth Dimension's agents. These are just
the answer when ninjaring is simply not enough.
To find such necessities you have to break
through the strong boxes marked with a Chuppa
Chup symbol. This rule differs for the Zoon bonus
which requires you to break through Zoon with your
ninja head butt. Charming!! Inside such aids as a
bomb, Twozool (which basically splits your Ninja
into two for double the action), a shield
which creates an invincible Zool for a
short period of time or the Time
bonus which adds valuable
seconds to your total, can be
achieved - to name but a few.
Zool 2 has retained its
colourful and wacky
appearance but I have been rather disappointed at
its similarity to the original. Simply providing
different backgrounds is not sufficient to maintain
the original fans. Admittedly it is trickier to achieve
your goal but unless you are a hooked Zool zapper
this version doesn't provide enough originality to
maintain a player's interest.

on the two planets but also in Space. Exploration is
critical to success as you try to discover the
land shape of the enemy planet and seek out
their key installations in an effort to curb
their great war machine. Extensive statistics
of pilot's success are kept so that they can be
duly rewarded. Remember though, not every
soldier lives to find out if they have been
rewarded, and that boils down to how
efficient your management of the situation
is. Even if you do win the battle you may find
yourself master of a gutted husk of a planet.
This is not a game to fill a few minutes
but a few hours. If you have the time and
patience to sit through the major battle
preparation, then this could prove a
rewarding challenge.

A Once Magic Boy has bagged an enemy, he
must banish him to the basement.
MAGIC BOY
Empire attempt
to emulate the
success of olden
day classics.
C ute games such as Magic Boy usually have
one other quality alongside the appealing
graphics and that is horribly addictive
gameplay^ usually of the platform variety. There is
something about this type of character that compels
programmers to force their products along very
similar lines.
The legendary games that spring to mind when
you think of Magic Boy are the likes of Rainbow
islands, Rodland and The
New Zealand story. All of these have a very similar
style, so if you have encountered any of those I have
named, and liked them, you will be more than at
home with this.
Little Hewlett, who I assume is the Magic Boy
refered to in the name, is an apprentice wizard. Not
only that, he is top of his class at the Sorcery school
and has passed all his magic exams at a surprisingly
young age. Being a diligent chap, one evening he is
staying behind to finish off some work. During a
break he has a rummage through the spell cupboard
but unfortunately trips over a trap door and into the
basement where the grand wizard's assortment of
magic creatures are kept and they all escape into the
grounds surrounding the Sorcery School.
As Hewlett you must scour the landscape and
return all of the creatures to the basement. This will
involve you searching through many different
terrains, apprehending all the creatures and
returning to the school via the back door before
anyone notices what you have done.
You only have until the morning though, as that is
when the Grand Wizard is due to return. The
different worlds that you need to conquer
are Sand Land, Wet World, Plastic Place
and Future Zone, each of which
becomes progressively more difficult
as you proceed. Each world must be
visited twice, and on both visits the
set of levels will be different. This
adds up to a grand total of sixty four
different sections, not to mention a very
longstanding challenge.
You’ll like fhls...
Each time you begin a world, four of the
levels will be accessible to you, and can
then be completed in any order you
choose. As you complete one section
another will be opened up to
you. Until eventually you have
finished all eight levels of that
particular world.
To complete a level you
must successfully stun all of the
creatures, collect them in your bag
and banish them to the basement. You
have to do this quickly though, as
each creature will only remain
stunned for a few seconds before
recovering its composure and
starting off after you again.
Most of the levels are
upwardly scrolling affairs, and
much of the time the best tactic is to work your way
from the bottom to the top, collecting the creatures
as you go. However, on occasions, especially on the
later levels. It will become necessary to plan your
route much more carefully. This becomes the case
because certain platforms disappear making it
impossible to reach certain areas later on.
A particularly good feature of Magic Boy is that
if it becomes the case where you realise that you
have got it wrong, you can restart the level without
losing a life. This is especially handy in the later
stages, because success in many levels relies a great
deal on trial and error methods, and without this

OPINION BY Neil

feature it would be wholly impossible to finish the
game in anything under a lifetime.
As well as disappearing platforms there are
many other features that will hinder your progress.
Ice platforms cause you to slide around
uncontrollably; sticky blocks slow you down when
you walk on them and prevent you from jumping;
conveyer belts which carry Hewlett along in the
direction they are travelling and pistons which,
when you touch activate automatically sending you
spiralling into the air.
But, not a lot!
If you don't find completing the 64 main levels
enough of a challenge, you can console yourself In
the knowledge that there are also thirty hidden
secret levels along the way, and discovering all of
these is enough to make even the most hardened
platformer struggle.
The only real fault I can find with Magic Boy is
that it is essentially nothing more than a rehashed
version of a legendary idea. Games like Rodland
have done all this before but who cares about that
anyway? This is an Idea that will still provide games
which people find playable no matter how many of
them are produced. So as long as the player
finds the game appealing and
enjoyable what else really matters?
This is an unbelievably
simple concept, but it works,
and in my opinion works
well. I'm sure that whoever
plays Magic Boy will not
need to complain that they
haven't received excellent
value for money.
▼ As yet another
creature lumbers
towards him, Magic Boy
takes a nasty fumble.

The six major conflicts in which you can take
part range from the Six Day War fought between
Israel and the Arab countries in 1967, to the

these scenarios makes them extremely compelling
to play, and there's certainly enough depth to keep
even the most avid strategy specialist engrossed for
a good while. Even if that's not enough for you, one
of the better features of the Campaign series is the
option of editing the existing maps, thereby

ORIGINAL SCORE
S leepwalker was originally tied in with the
Comic Relief project. Whether any part of
the proceeds from the CD32 will go to the
cause is certainly not made clear on the packaging^
and I hope that no one will be duped Into thinking
that they are contributing when they are not.
Still, there is very little to complain about,
because Sleepwalker is such a rollicking good game.
The original score of 85% was I feel too low in
retrospect, and seeing as Nick has now flown the
coop so to speak, I can put things right with no fear
of retribution.
The plot is suitably off the wall for a game
featuring the vocal talents of that affable Brummie
Lenny Henry. In the guise of Ralph, the ever faithful,
you must successfully guide your master Lee, who is
prone to sleepwalking, around six hazardous
levels. As he is well away, Lee is oblivious to
all of the dangers around him, and
therefore, without your help he would
undoubtedly meet a swift, not to mention
unpleasant demise.
Your task is accomplished by
pushing, kicking and blocking Lee at
various points in the levels when he
would otherwise plunge to his doom.
Well, not actually doom, but each time
something untoward happens to him he will
become even closer to awakening, and we all
know that old adage about what will happen if you
disturb a sleepwalker.
Although this is a CD32
product, owners of the new
machine should not expect
graphical and sonical miracles.
This really could be the game
that the term shovelware was invented
for. The tunes have been considerably
improved but that is about it. Even an
improved intro sequence, usually one of
the only additions to an upgrade has been missed
out in this case, but to be honest I don't care.
This is such a good game that it doesn't matter
one bit that it is only the same as its computer
counterpart, because that was also such a good
game. A word of warning though, it is unbelievably
difficult. It took the combined skills of myself and
Roger a couple of days to progress as far as level
four, and it was as that point that we cried in unison,
"enough is enough."
Of course you will have more time to spend on
it than us, and without the time constraints enforced
by deadlines and so on. I'm sure this will keep many
people hanging on to the very end.

them in the form of three ridiculous-looking young

my time with Cyberpunks. Initially, It looked superb,
and on first playing it my opinion remained the
same. After half an hour or so, chants of "easy"
sprang to mind (anything to do with the cheat mode
by any chance? - Steve), followed by
disappointment at the apparent lack of activity
through the levels. Then, just as my disappointment
was threatening to turn into a reasonably scathing
review, another level was reached, new graphics
appeared, and I was happy again.

C yberpunks is brought to us by the
team behind Doodlebug, and it has
to be said they’ve come on a way
since then. The whole thing is excellently put
together, and the occasionally seen
backgrounds (or bottom grounds, since
we’re looking down on the game) add a
touch of class that, by me at least, is always
appreciated. No leader in the cutting edge
of originality, it is nevertheless a few hours of
really good fun. Too easy though.

The mission: stop them, and save the universe. !.
It's Alien Breed for kids, innit? Or so I thought,
as the game loaded and I found myself looking down
on three large sprites armed with a variety of alien-
frightening weaponry. Well, one reasonably sized
gun each actually, all of them capable of firing a
range of projectiles should you be talented enough
to find the power-ups.
Kiddies korner
Alas, once the initial deja vu has faded, it becomes
apparent that Cyberpunks certainly isn't Alien Breed,
and after a few minutes play the phrase "doesn't
even come close" springs to mind. This won't bother
Core, since they claim their target market for this
game is the lower age group of Amiga users - the,
dare I say it, children.
It does make you wonder when a software
company says that. Have they genuinely set
out to appeal to a younger group of games
players, or have they spent time and money
on developing what they hope will be a world
beater, only to see the finished product and
think "Oh no - it's too easy! Hang on, let's
hedge our bets and say it's one for the kids."
Well, it's only fair to take them at face value
again, so let's go with the flow.
Raa, Bee and Gee need to kill the aliens -
that much we know. Due to the
circumstances though, not all of the aliens can
be easily reached, what with obstacles such as
forcefieids and good old doors barring the
way for them.
Each of the three 'punks can carry four
items - items such as extra weapons, colour-
JO Ki-

coded cards, medical packs, holocubes
- oh, loads of stuff.
Alien Breed it isn't, but
Cyberpunks does have a certain
charm of its own, largely due to
the boldness of the sprites and
backgrounds alike. The music and
sound effects are loud and more than
adequate, and there is a distinct puzzly
element running throughout the game, albeit a
particularly easy one.
The three young chaps wander around together
at all times. When one of them is simply bending
over backwards with the weight of his backpack,
another one can be selected to take over, until
nothing more can be gathered. Ammunition is a
personal thing, each "warrior" powering up
individually, and although the three will always
follow each other, a multidirectional fire option can
be chosen.
Thing is though, there seems almost no point in
having three Cyberpunks instead of one. Okay, so
the firepower is increased, but that is nothing that
couldn't have been programmed into one sprite, and
whereas in AB2 and the Chaos Engine excellent two
player options are included, there's nary a whiff of
that here. Besides, a major drawback to the game's
difficulty, and therefore lastability, is the fact that
there are nowhere near enough enemies to make it a
tough challenge, and most of the ones present are
somewhat lacking in the intelligence department.
But maybe we're back to the kiddies appeal again...
Variability is evident, with five main levels -
some inside and some out in the strange and hostile
environment, each containing three or four sub
worlds, all of which are made from different textures
and feature different aliens.

The beat’em-up has been with us for as
long as computer games have existed.
One of the finest forms of two player fun,
they could justifiably be perceived as
being somewhat shallow. Millennium are
out to buck the trend with what seems
like a very strange venture indeed.
BY:
BODY BLOWS GALACTIC: Graphically sound,
but relatively shallow in story. MysterX has
thousands of years of legend.
MORTAL KOMBAT: Arguably the finest Amiga beat’em-up, packed with special moves and
gore. MysterX shuns special moves in favour of realistic movememt.
here are any number of ways in which one can
go about developing a computer game. The
traditional way is for an individual or group of
people to dream up an idea which they believe
would be well translated into computer code^ which^
when finally manifested into graphical form would
appeal to a predetermined audience.
This is known as an original idea^ and whilst
perhaps not too rare a beast in the early '80s when
the BBC, Spectrum and their pretenders were
sowing the seed for a new leisure time explosion, the
Original Idea - in terms of computer games as
indeed with most things - is now an endangered
species. Not too surprising if we consider the sheer
volume of software packages to have graced the
shelves of the ever-growing number of computer
shops over the years, but an alternative is always
around the corner.
Branding has always been important, never
more evident than in the inumerable
advertising campaigns running from
the underground to television to -
ridiculously - space. Game branding
too has become increasingly
significant in the last few years, with
licenses as far removed as Robocop
and Thomas the Tank Engine
enjoying successful sales.
The Steven Seagal game
currently in development on several
formats perhaps heralds the start of
a new era, with real people, and not
just their cinematic vehicles
becoming the focus of licencing
attention. Millennium too have
decided that this is the way to go, at
least in this instance, and the idea
might not seem too preposterous if
it wasn't for one very important
factor. The character around which
their game revolves is unknown...
Unknown, at least, to those
outside the world of martial arts,

exponents in, it seems, just about any oriental
discipline you could name, and a dozen or so you
probably couldn't. This month we take time out to
introduce you to the man.
The story of the boy from Bucks who was taught
karate by his seafaring father at the age of five has
taken a long and meandering route to where it
stands today - a 28 year old man on the brink of
pixellated immortality. MysterX is hailed as being
more than just another beat'em-up, but it takes an
understanding of the man to understand the game.
Born in the year of the snake, Neil Axe ("Yes it is
my real name - an old Anglo Saxon one which
originates from the weaponsmiths of the south of
England") spent seven years learning Karate based
self defence, before using the next two years to hone
his technique in two other forms of Karate - Wado
Ryu and Shotokan. After brief experiences with
boxing, Akido and Judo, family
changes meant a move to New
Zealand for the then 14 year old,
where a five year gap in his martial
arts training was filled mainly with
bouncing work in nightclubs.
On his return to this country,
years more study resulted in the
impressive list of achievements you
see elsewhere on this page, but, time
permitting, what of his interests
outside of martial arts?
"justice," is the firm reply, as
Neil goes on to explain his very real belief in the
concept of ying and yang, good versus evil and basic
human rights.
"I believe very strongly that there should be
some form of justice for those who suffer evil," he
says. As for rights, three square meals a day,
healthcare and the right to live in peace are his
criteria for anything close to a decent world.
If this all seems very deep for an apparent
computer game advisor, get ready to climb into your
diving bell, the story behind the game gets much,
much deeper.
Oriental legend has it that there are five
guardians of the earth; Quazar, Stone, Storm, Aqua
and Fire. All were banished from this plane 9000
years ago by man, who felt he no longer needed
their advice. Since then, comparative chaos has
descended onto earth, and without the guardians it
seems set to continue. The guardians need to find
themselves a human host through which to project
themselves into this world once more, but the host is
a rare beast, since he must possess a number of
skills. The skills he needs are those of the fabled
Manimal Warriors; Bull, Dragon, Crane, Leopard,
Mantis, Monkey, Phoenix, Snake and Tiger, and it
will take years to select the host, as a stiff test is
required for the chosen one.
In 1988 Neil Axe led a team of four men across
the United States, sparring in various towns, and
cycling around 4000 miles from New York to San
Diego. That was the test. The guardians had
appeared to Neil in dreams before the trip, but it
wasn't until he finished his quest - a fund raising
event for Great Ormond Street Hospital that he
realised it. Those who are a little unsure as to
whether fact and fiction are becoming mingled here,
let me make it clear. Neil states very clearly that the
five guardians wish to make their voices heard
through him. and that the guy who walked Into the
Millennium office with "a business plan for the rest
of his life" is the same person whom the guardians
have, for their own reasons, chosen as their host.
The same guy who feels his purpose is to speak the
wisdom of a timeless entity, the first step of which is
to be conveyed through the ultra modern medium of
computer games.
Videos, and the possibility of up to three
Hollywood films will follow for Neil, and if you're
interested, or simply think we're mad, be here for
part two next month, when we ask just who MysterX
is, and take an early look at the game, delving deep
to find out more about the mysterious "piece of kit"
Millennium are said to possess.

reputation fbr producing
innovative gomes, and in our
book innovation does not begin
and end with special
moves.MysterX is a living,
breathing phenomenon, which
certainly helps, but our whole

■ Cabaret Asteroids: Haven Computing Disk
No. GAOOl
Call me naive if you want, but I was expecting a
chorus line of space boulders, armed with straw
boaters and canes, to high-step their way onto the
screen before performing some bizarre song and
dance routine. There's not even a glimpse of Liza
Minnelli to be seen anywhere. Basically what you
have is a standard version of the old arcade
favourite. Asteroids. As with the Space Invaders
clone which was reviewed in last month's mag, a
fairly decent stab has been made at recreating the
graphics and atmosphere of the original, and as far
as it goes it's not a bad blast from the past.
T CABARET ASTEROIDS.
■ Biplane: R.M. Curtis and D.J. Davies-Llewellyn
More arcade hits here, and an attempt to simulate
the old World War II shoot'em-up, 1942. Your
propeller-driven plane appears at the bottom of the
screen, and the battle-scarred landscape scrolls
down towards you, bringing squadrons of machine
gun rattling Red Barons with it. Not too much
thinking is required, just fly around and shoot a lot
and you can't go far wrong. The graphics are a bit
ropy and the gameplay is a little slow, but then this
is PD after all so you can't really complain too
much. Unless you're particularly sad.
■ Space Powers: Pyramid Soft
Our friends in Spain have come up with a space
battles sort of thing where the general idea is to end
up as the last surviving space ship. The action takes
place around the orbit of an exceedingly small
planet in some unknown solar system, and if I didn't
know better. I'd say that some of the space vessels
were rejects from

the place where he once had a parting and teleport

much for him. It's quite good fun to play, and pretty
addictive, but I can't quite connect with the idea of
having a bald bloke as the central character. Maybe
the programmer is trying to promote slaphead
awareness or something.
■ Lame ST Ports: Haven Computing Disk No.
GA043
Great hilarity came to the fore in the office here
when Steve saw me playing this and asked me what
it was called. Being a bit unsure about the title, I
replied "Lame Street Ports or something". Two hours
later when his guffaws had been reduced to insane
sniggers, and his tears of laughter had dried from
flowing rivers to trickling streams, he informed me
that the game was actually called Lame (as in 'poor')
ST (as in 'Atari ST') Ports (as in 'conversions').
Feeling a bit stupid and mightily ashamed, I
continued playing while Steve went round telling
absolutely everybody of my foolishness. I have just
about recovered enough of my credibility to be able
to tell you that ahem... LSTP is a space invaders
clone with comedy graphics. Say no more.
■ Parachute Joust: Haven Computing Disk No.
GA141
Out of this month's selection of PD action.
Parachute joust definitely has the best graphics of
the lot, and is also based on the best game idea. Do
you remember that
James Bond film
where Roger
Moore and that
guy with the steel
teeth fall out of an
aeroplane with
only one parachute between
them? Instead of doing the decent
thing and sharing the silk canopy,
there's a bit of a scrap and Metal
Molars plummets to the ground
while Rog floats gracefully down
to earth. Martini in hand. Well
that's what this game's all about.
Fight against the computer or a
friend as you plummet towards
almost certain death, but make
sure that the parachute is safely in
your grasp as the ground gets
nearer and nearer. It gets a bit
tiresome after a while, but the
final sound and animation
sequence is particularly good, and
there's definitely a certain
curiosity value.
■ Cashfruit: Haven Computing Disk No. GA157
Finally, pathetically addicted fruit machine
gamblers take note. Here's a chance to save some of
your hard earned money. You don't have to enter a
seedy arcade to indulge in your sad hobby, nor do
you have to endure the embarrassment of being
turfed out of a pub for
being too young. Simply
tap a key or two on your
Amiga, and all the
'thrills' of gambling can
be yours In the safety of
your own bedroom,
obviously you can't win
any money, but you can't
lose any either. If you
like to gamble. I'll tell
you how to lose. You win
some, you lose some, it's
all the same to me.

THE MOST UP TO DATE PREVIEWS EVER!
Premier Leaoue
Glory glory Man United, as
the Reds go marching on on
on. (Nice record lads).
H urrah! Hurrah! Oh yes yes yes yes yes!
It's been a long while in the making,
but finally, it's here - the latest Man
Utd 'em-up from Krisalis, and oh my woooord
it's looking mighty fine!
I like Man Utd. See those mighty reds <
that's my favourite team that is. Oo-aa Can-
ton-ah, ooh Giggsy Giggsy, Ryan Ryan Ryan
Ryan Ryan Giggs! Let's do something different.
Blueprints get a bit stale sometimes, don't you
think? They need spicing up from time to time
and I've got just the thing. We're going to start
giving a percentage at the preview stage - yes,
that's what we'll do, starting right here with
this one.
Let's see then: graphics - oh, 98 per cent
for those, and what about the sound? There's
no sound in the preview version but it'll be
dead smart, so let's say 93. No, 95 - 95 per
cent for the sound. So that means that the
overall score has to be in the region - PUNCH!
(Paul falls over with blooded nose)
Right, this is Neil here, and the speelings a

Paul's face and now I can't
type propeferly. The reason
for my pugilistic outburst
stems from the fact that I'm a

Whoa there Bub! I'm the

here. Now damn well sit
down and give this the best

(Paul limps off, squealing in a
high voice).

anyone would think we were

to-be-average preview).
Okay, okay, you want to hear about the
game, so here we go.
What Krisalis have attempted to produce is
a cross between a football tactical sim (kind of
management for beginners) and a full-blown
arcade style footy game. All 92 (or is it 93 or
94 now) league clubs are included in all their
glory, along with the denizens of the Vauxhall
Conference and 50 other non-league
sides. Choose your favourite
team and you can play
a whole season of
chasing a pig's
bladder around a
field with nice white
lines on it.
Before each game commences,
you have the opportunity to pick your best
side for the upcoming match, and alter the
tactical formation if you feel the need. MUPC
is different from other similar games in this
respect, as the unique Tactigrid allows you not
only to change your playing system from say,
an aggressive 4-2-4 to a more Arsenalesque 7-
2-1. There is even the option to change the
role of individual players within each
formation. For instance, if you think that there
is an enormous amount of space available
down one of the flanks, and the full back looks
Tactigrid is not a
gimmick, it's bloody
briliiant!”
a bit dodgy, you can alter your winger's
position on the Tactigrid so that he hugs the
touchline a bit more. In the words of arcade
code programmer Pete Harrap, "Tactigrid is
not a gimmick, it's bloody brilliant!".
Once you're happy with your side, you
can then take to the field wearing one of the
natty and totally up-to-date kits available to
your team. Play commences in either one or
two player mode, depending upon
your initial choice at the
beginning of the
game, and the rest
i is up to you.
The match
graphics are very
_ similar to Sensible
Soccer, but a little smaller so that
more of the pitch is on the screen at any one
time. Graphics programmer Neil Adamson
was particularly adamant that more of the
pitch should be made visible to the
gameplayer: "It's the same reason why most
football fans would rather go and watch a real
match where you can see the whole thing, the
build ups, the runs off the ball, as opposed to
watching on T.V. where you only see part of
the story".
Pete Harrap is especially pleased with the
look of the match sequence, and claims that
"The players look more human and play more
realistically" (than in Sensi Soccer).
And that's about as far as it goes at the
present. It would be unfair to comment on the
gameplay of the match sequence because the
game isn't yet finished, but as soon as we have
a finished copy we'll be sure to let you know.
The 'management' section is more or less
complete though, and it would be fair to say
that this part of the game does look very
impressive. Statistics coder Simeon Pashley
says: "As much effort has gone into making the
statistical content as realistic as possible
whether you elect to be Manchester United or
Doncaster Rovers."
Yes indeed, the wealth of data available is
very comprehensive, and you should find all
your team's favourite players there complete
with accurate hair colour and skin tone. The
only feature the programmers couldn't manage
was a bald head, so fans of Ray Wilkins and
Kevin 'Rooster' Russell will just have to use
their imagination.
I really like what I've seen so far, and I
can't wait to see what the finished product
plays like. Let's hope I'm not disappointed.
▼ Kenny Dalglish: Aye, I'll gie ya fieve million
for it. Jack willna mind, he 's laeded.
▲ Graham Taylor: That blonde haired man
should not hove been on the pitch! Bleat etc.

A Ahem, of course there will be other levels in the completed game, but this
Is only a demo you see. and... well (Shut up - you couldn't do it - Paul)
I have to profess to being more than a
little impressed with Cool Spot's looks^ as
indeed I was with Virgin's other big release
Mortal Kombat. Their programmers are
certainly showing that graphics of the standard
other machine owners are used to are possible
on the Amiga and are putting many other
software houses to shame.
This would be immaterial if the gameplay
wasn't up to scratch, but it would seem that
once again this aspect will have been more
than adequately catered for.
Admittedly I haven't seen the final working
version, but I have seen two levels that I
believe to be complete and it would be very
surprising if the other as yet unseen levels fail
to come up to their very high standard. If this
is the case Cool Spot will be a definite
contender for the top position in our Platform
Super League, which, believe me, is a highly
sought after position.
Everything seems right about this game.
The main character is highly appealing, the
graphics are well drawn and animated and the
gameplay would appear to be more than
challenging. I am certainly looking forward to
the finished version as it is very rare that a
platform game stirs an interest in me these
days. I'm afraid.
The hippest zit on the
consoles Is set to take a
bow on the Amiga at last...
C onsole kids have ail the fun as far as
platform games go. Not content with
the excellence of the two main
characters Sonic and
Mario, there are new
characters springing
up willy-nilly all
over the place, and
what are we stuck
with? Suburban
Commando and Doofus that's
what. Quite frankly I think that's ridiculous
and more than a touch unfair. I'm not standing
for it any more!
Actually, that little tantrum was
completely unnecessary as, thanks to Virgin,
one of the latest MegaDrive and SNES
superstars, namely Cool Spot, is about
to make a debut
appearance on the
Amiga, and looks
set to considerably
change things on
the platform front.
At the moment the
game is a good way from
completion but Virgin are fully confident that
they can meet there December deadline, and
if all of the levels are of the standard of the
two we have seen in the demo, you can expect
this to fill many a
Christmas stocking
come December
the 25th.

looks like proving that the consoles domination
vUmmuM I %jI. of quality platformers is a situation that has arisen simply
_ because programmers cannot be bothered putting in the
time and effort required to achieve this quality on the Amiga. (So no more games
for us then - Paul). If Virgin can do it, and they look odds on to do so with this, it
shatters the excuses and will hopefully spur some of the larger houses into getting
their acts together and giving Amiga owners the software they deserve. Even If this

this stage Fatman is a platform game.
With a story like that what else could

quite snugly.
The whole game has an
exceptionally cartoony feel,
especially the graphics, and not just
the main sprite either. The
backgrounds could also have been
lifted straight out of Bananaman or
whatever it is that kids seem to be watching on

Apart from that it is difficult to tell at this

other platformers that seem to be released

really does need something extra special to

The GVP A530 is a unique combination of a Hard Drive, RAM upgrade
and an Accelerator. Inside is a full Motorola 68030ec processor running
at 40mhz, making your A500 faster than you thought possible - almost
nine times faster than an A1200. And, fitting a PGA maths co-processor
(40mhz 68882, ref: UPG 1982, £129 incVAi) can improve this still further,
with some operations being 300 times faster than an A500. In addition
you can add up to 8Mb of 32-bit RAM, which further enhances
performance.
FASTER THAN AN A1200 or A4000 030
An A500 with the GVP A530 fitted will be considerably faster than either
the A1200 or A4000. This is possible because the A530 uses a 40mhz
68030EC processor, whilst the A1200 uses the slower 14.19mhz 68020EC
processor and the A4000-030 uses the 25mhz 68030ec processor.

did. Lest ye be coming a bit
unstuck in its labyrinthine

“beat the ghosts. ’’ Thanks
(and games) to Paul S Luby.
Don't use the nunchuckas as they're no use
against them (unless they are bouncing or
even falling).
Baddies - Level Two
If you're unarmed, kick
them. If armed then the best weapons to use
are the nunchuckas and the iron bar.
^ Qi if you're sliding, kick them. If
you're stood on a ledge (or jumping up a
slope) use the nunchuckas or the iron bar.
" ^ r See Guns.
- Use anything except petrol
bombs (too precious to waste).
Use the nunchuckas because they kill them
the quickest.
ns When you get close
to them they flash for a few seconds and then
explode (horizontally and vertically) in four
directions (Dynablaster style). Simply run
away from them when they flash.
Weird Effect!!

discovered. Connect two joysticks and select
a two player game. When the game begins
kill off Joe so that only Nat remains. Now
unplug the joystick from the mouse port and
replace the mouse. If you move the mouse
around a bit, everything will slow down (until
you move the mouse again) including the
music. It's not very useful but it's quite funny,
and it's like watching an episode of "The Six
Million Dollar Man" as Nat does slow-motion
jumps just like the bionic man himself,
seriously weird!!!
Weapons
j A bit feeble really.
Good for killing thugs on columns.
Good for reaching a baddie on another ledge
that is level with you but separated by a gap.
: - Excellent weapon because
you can also use this as you're jumping.
Unfortunately, you can't crawl through
tunnels while you're holding it and you can't
climb ledges, but it does allow you to jump a
little bit higher (useful for getting out of holes
on level 3).
Not as powerful as the
iron bar, but it is faster and you can climb
ledges while you're holding it. The bad news
is that you can't use it while you're jumping.
Great for killing
enemies below or above you, or enemies that
crawl around your feet, such as the rats. Best
used on big baddies.
Baddies - Level One
Don't try to kill them with
punches or kicks (unless they are on small
ledges) as they will jump over you. If you are
level with them use the iron bar, shurikan or
nunchuckas. if you are below or above them
use a fire bomb, you can also use the iron bar
If you are below them.
- Use anything except fire bombs
and punching (unless they're flying low). The
iron bar is best.
If they are above you, use a fire
bomb or the Iron bar. If you are are level
with them you can only use a fire bomb as
this is the only weapon that can touch the
floor. Otherwise jump over them. If they
jump at you, punch them.
^ Use nunchuckas or Iron
bar. Don't punch them as this takes too long.
When they are roiling
around as skulls punch them and they will
die with only one hit. Don't use the
nunchuckas as they will roil straight under
them (draining a lot of energy).
Punch them, jump over them,
firebomb them or walk along between them.

Level One
Level one has three big baddies, by using this
route you will only meet two of them and
can avoid the vicious blade-wielding zombie.
Right through the doors, kick painting, drop
down and kick the two ledges on the right to
reveal some goodies. Then go down the stairs
(avoiding barrels), collect some nunchuckas
at bottom and hit the blocks on the right to
reveal some more goodies. Go back up the
stairs, hit thugs with nunchuckas, walk right,
kill the bat and collect the petrol bomb.
Continue walking right (jumping over the
spikes), kill the skeletons, collect the petrol
bomb and walk through the door. Hit the
stairs, jump onto them and kilt the painting.
Continue up the stairs, walk right (killing the
skeleton) and jump into the shower to
recharge energy.
Walk left, jump onto the ledge, up the
stairs, kick the paintingand continue until you
reach another skeleton. Kill It and continue
up the stairs killing both the thug and
painting with the nunchuckas. Drop down
making sure to avoid the rat and hit the
treasure chest to
reveal lots of
energy, jump back
up onto the ledge,
walk up a few steps,
turn around and
jump onto the first
right ledge.
Continue right
(killing skeletons
and vampires), drop
into the water,
keep going right, go
down the ledges
(keep to the LEFT)
and at the bottom
you will find a tunnel containing lots and lots
of lovely goodies.
Jump/climb back up the ledges (avoid
spikes on right), drop back into the water and
jump onto the first ledge on the right. When
face to face with the first thug, throw a petrol
bomb at him. Then jump onto the next ledge
and repeat the same with the other thug.
Switch to the nunchuckas, now jump up onto
the ledge on the left, walk left up the stairs,
kill the bat, go over the bridge, kill the thug
and bat and continue left until you see a
small column. Walk towards it (hitting the
barrels as they fall with the nunchuckas).
when the rat walks to the left of the screen,
jump over the column and quickly throw a
shurikan at it, kick the first ledge and
continue up.
Jump over the thugs's knife, kill him and
the bat, and continue left (avoiding the
spikes). Kill the skeletons and the thug, drop
down and walk right to discover another
chest. Go left, kill the painting, collect
goodies from ledge, continue left, climb up
ledges killing thugs (don't worry about
energy loss), and continue right where you'll
find another chest (energy). Continue going
up, collect energy (if required), jump up onto
right ledge and continue right (killing the
skeleton, the painting and the thug as you
do). Jump up onto the next ledge and use a
shurikan on the thug, collect the energy and
drop down onto the next ledge where you
will find a chest.
Down, right, up, collect shurikan, up, kill
thug, jump right onto the top platform and
crawl along until you reach the end. Climb
up the ledges (killing thugs with nunchuckas)
until you arrive at the top (collect energy if
required), walk left, kill vampire, jump over
the first column
and hit chest, jump
across gap, kill bat,
go over the bridge,
jump left onto the
next platform, kill
thugs, use petrol
bomb on third thug
and climb onto
ledge. Jump onto
the right ledge and
jump into the
shower to recharge
your energy.
Continue down
left (avoiding the
rat and spikes) and kill the thug with the
nunchuckas, up, walk left and a big baddie
will appear. As you enter the room pieces of
the platform will collapse (be careful not to
fall), when they have collapsed jump onto the
second highest piece (so that you are almost
level with him) and throw a petrol bomb at
him as he jumps up (if you time your throw
correctly you'll only need one, otherwise
you'll need to use two). He will die without
even hitting you once.
Jump up onto right ledge, walk right, up
left, collect gas cans and chainsaw. Now
jump up the platforms onto the roof
(collecting gas cans and destroying the barrel
dispenser as you do), switch to the
nunchuckas, walk right (DO NOT walk left)
and slide down the roof. Continue right
(avoiding spikes) and jump up onto the right
ledge and collect the iron bar. Carry on
walking right (avoiding more spikes and
killing baddies with iron bar), jump right over
the column and you will see the Count.
The best weapons to use are the iron
bar, the chainsaw and the petrol bomb. The
best tactic is to quickly run to the far right of
the screen. He will then warp to that
position, now jump onto the nearest ledge (to
the left) and (very quickly, before he moves
again) throw a petrol bomb at him. If you
stand perfectly still, so will he, but he will
also get fried by the bomb. If you don't have
any petrol bombs your best chance is to just
charge at him with the chainsaw. When
you've defeated him, walk right and you have
completed level one.
Level Two
Walk right (over the spikes), kill snake, up
stairs, up right (kicking/punching the blobs),
walk right and slide down the slope (avoid
the spikes and killing the guns by kicking
them). When you get to the bottom, collect
the energy and walk left. Kill mummy, slide
down the next slope (killing the blobs), kill
mummies, up left (avoiding the guns), up left,
collect nunchuckas, kill sun before it
explodes (or avoid it).
Slide down right, kill snake, up, up left
(avoiding guns), up right, wait for sun to
explode. Here you will face the first big
baddie, use a combination of kicks and
nunchuckas to kill him. When he dies a hole
will open above, climb up, walk through the
hole, and slide down left. Collect energy.
GfVfMG THE GAME AWAY •AMHEA ACTION
slide down rights avoid sun, collect petrol
bomb, down, kill snake, walk up the stairs

energy they leave behind). Down the ledges,
collect the petrol bomb and kill the snake.
Continue down stairs (jumping over one-
eyed stones and collecting goodies), avoid
sun, down, collect petrol bomb, kill stone
and snakes. Collect energy, left (over spikes),
kill stone, left, hit chest, you will now meet
the second big baddie.
Quickly (and carefully) make you way
across to the left of the screen and climb
onto the ledges, from there you can throw
the petrol bombs to drain a lot of the
baddie^s energy. Finish him off with kicks and
the shurikans (on the top ledge above you).
Walk right (crouching down), killing
mummies, collecting energy and goodies. Up
ledges (avoid sun and collect shurikan), kill
snakes with kicks and nunchuckas, continue
up until you arrive at the iron bar, collect
both that and the shurikan. Now proceed
right up the stairs (collecting goodies), down,
down next stairs, kill snakes, down, kill
snake, walk right and you will meet level
two's Meanotaurus. Some sections of the
floor collapse (every second stone), so jump
across these sections (left and right) hitting
the baddie with the iron bar (jumping over
him when he charges you, and remember the
spikes). When he stands still (snorting) hit
him like crazy (but get ready to jump). When
you've killed him walk right to the exit.
Level Three
This level is ENORMOUS^ if you use this
route you will avoid meeting TWO of the big
baddies^ which of course only leaves one.
Walk left up the stairs, when you reach the
top avoid the firing face by crawling
underneath it and collect the nunchuckas.
Avoid the second face and jump over the first
face block, collect the energy, avoid the
next face, continue left, jump
onto the second block and fall
with it. Kill the Indian, jump
onto the third block
(avoiding the spikes
above), you will notice
that the next block is
above you, walk slowly
left, the block will shake
and then fall, climb over it,
step onto the next block and
fall with it.
Kill the next Indian and jump
onto the next block, avoid the block
above (as before) and climb over It,
stand on the next block and
continue left. Collect the iron bar
and the energy. Now hit the statue
marked "hit" until it explodes, walk
back right and you will discover
that a new hole has appeared, drop

When the firing face closes jump out of
the hole and hit it with the iron bar. Carry on
going left, drop down (watch out for the
blade), walk right and avoid the four failing
blocks (climbing over each one after they've
fallen). Collect petrol bomb, continue right,

hit him, continue left and hit the face above.
Walk down stairs, hit the chest and jump
up onto the left ledge. Kill the indian,
continue left jumping over ail the blocks
(killing the baddies with the iron bar) until
you reach a gap, jump over this and jump
across the columns until you are standing on
the fifth one, drop down to the left and you
will land on a yellow rock. Walk off this to
the right and continue travelling in a down¬
right direction (killing the baddies on the way
of course), don't worry about falling as you
can't fall of the screen.
Continue in this direction until you get to
what looks like a mine shaft. Drop down this
and collect the petrol bomb, kill the indian
and walk off the end of the ledge. Now onto
the one below, jump off this platform to the
left and you should land on three small
columns, jump off this ledge onto the ledges
on the right, then jump up onto the ones on
the left and jump across to the where the
skeleton is. Jump over the first column and
kill the indian, now jump over the second
column and drop down left, kill indian, walk
left and drop off the end. Kill next indian,

now meet Marcos Cane.
This guy is easy to beat, every time you
try to hit him he jumps over you, so switch to
the iron bar. Now if you stand on one spot,
but keep turning around (ie face left, then
right, then left, etc.) and rapidly tap the fire
button he'll keep jumping into the path of
your iron bar and die easily. Walk right and
you're at the exit.
Level Four

and collecting petrol bombs) until you reach
the entrance of the temple. Kill ninja, jump
over the gap and collect the energy. Walk left
and drop down, right, down, left, jump over

passed all the doors climb up the ledges and
walk right killing the next lot of sumos. Climb
up the ledges and proceed left killing more
sumos (avoiding/killing the wall ninjas and
the bats), climb up the ledges and walk right,
walk to the giant bell and hit it until it
explodes. An opening will now appear on the
right, walk through this and you will meet
one of the big baddies.

Avoid his metal legs, the mines he drops,
and the homing missiles he fires. Only hit
Professor X, not the legs, use the chainsaw,
the iron bar and the shurikans (the bombs are

GIVING
When the racing’s going bad
and you’re iucky you’re aiive,
don’t despair, get through
those gears, and into
Overdrive! We’re not saying
you’a become Manseii
overnight, but foiiow these
steps and resuits will perk up...
Unless you happen to be some kind of racing
god, Overdrive is going to be mighty difficult
to compete In on anything other than the
Rookie setting to begin with.
The only difference between the difficulty
settings is the fact that Rookie allows you
three disqualifications, Novice two and
Advanced just one.
Novice and Advanced are an excellent
way to complete the game reasonably quickly
once you have mastered the art of racing and
control, but you really do need to master It
first because there Is little room for error.
Of the two methods of control - the standard
rotate-and-thrust and directional. R 'n' T is
the easiest to get to grips with, if only
because this is the way in which most games
are controlled anyway. Response of the
joystick is very quick, so it is important not to
over steer, or over compensate for errors.
Centring the car (making it go in a
straight line) is tricky to get the hang of, and
tapping lightly on the joystick is the only way
to avoid hitting the edges of the track.
Always take up the option to qualify. The
starting position on the grid isn't too
important, but it is essential to have a good
idea of the layout of the track before taking
part in the race.
Qualifying is a four lap event, and it's
useful to make a note of how much fuel you
have remaining on completion of the final
lap. Less than half a tank means you are
likely to run out on the actual eight lap race
and will need to secure some extra.
It doesn't really matter where you are at
the beginning of the race, as the positions
aren't sufficiently spread apart to make a big
difference, though obviously first position
isn't to be sniffed at. Having used the
qualifying session to find out where the turbo
pads are, aim for these to boost your speed.
lURBO
wasting a little bit of time.
The steering wheel and spanner are both
useful, as they improve your control and
lengthen your turbo boosts respectively, but
neither are worth risking valuable time - and
possible collisions - for unless they are in
your path.
Tight cornering, turbos, and picking up
whatever fuel is needed should ensure that
little else is required to win a race. Unless of
course you encounter a hazard.
Oilsiicks and ice patches are the on-road
obstacles that need negotiating, and can be
treated in a couple of ways, depending on
Don't put their importance above ail else
though, especially on the first couple of laps
of a race, when both opponents are likely to
be close to you, and a position on the inside
of a bend is a big advantage.
There Is no need to try to guess when the
next corner is coming up. The arrows in the
floor give you ail the time you need to make
your move, although the outside of a bend is
the best place to be (unless of course the blue
cars are close at hand, but hey - no-one said
this was easy!).
If you are winning races, then money will
take care of itself (and if you aren't, then
disqualification will ensue anyway), leaving
fuel as the single most important pickup. No
vehicle ever runs out of fuel more than one
or two laps from the finish, however it is best
to build up a decent
lead before straying
from the racing
line and possibly
where they fall. In some
cases^ a slippery hazard
will appear as a
patch on the road -
usually at a bend
for major
inconvenience -
and after one or
two laps, can be
anticipated and
therefore avoided
with only minimal
loss of time. Hazards
which stretch across the
road are different, but no more difficult to
contend with.
These usually come just before a bend,
the idea being that you will spin off into the
side. As you approach such an obstacle,
decrease speed slightly, and a fraction of a
second before your vehicle hits it, move the
joystick in the direction of the impending
bend, (i.e., if the bend preceding the hazard
is a right hander, move the joystick to the
right). If judged correctly, this manoeuvre
should see you skid over the edge of the bend
and face down the next straight with no loss
of control.

With another bumper crop of
tipettes and cheatlets, it’s the return
of the forgotten hint emporium.
THEATRE OF DEATH
M ark McGlynn from Covenfry has found a semi-useful cheat for getting onto mission two of
Theatre of Death on the November coverdisk. On the first mission, press FIO twice, and Bob
should be your uncle. If he isn't, then press all F keys in order and FI 0 twice. One of these
should magically transport you to mission two, though why you'd want to ruin the fun, God knows.
UOHHEART
B it of an oldie this one, and in a quite
shameful fashion, Rachel has lost the name
of the person who sent it to us, but here
goes anyway. On starting the game, push down
on the joystick and pause the game, press
control and help simultaneously and the screen
should judder. You have infinite lives, but that's
not all! By pushing control you turn Valdyn into
the mouse pointer, so you can move him
anywhere in the level by moving the mouse.
Both mouse buttons pressed simultaneously will
drop you down where Valdyn is positioned.
SIM CITY
I 've just discovered a cheat on Sim
City (says someone whose name
we couldn't decipher). If you're
struggling with your money then set
the tax rate at the beginning of the
year to 0%. Then just before the
yearly budget (in December), put it
up to 20%, and you get a big
amount of money. It also
encourages people to flock to your
city in droves throughout the year.
Blimey, run off and try it.

I n effect this is the sequel to the sequel, and is sub-titled
Rainbow Islands 2. There's not much more to say that wasn't
said above, except that Parasol Stars is a further revamped
version of Bubble Bobble.
This time Bob and Bub are armed with umbrellas instead of a
rainbow to fend off the nasties, and there's a greater variety to
the levels. The graphics are a little more sophisticated than those
of it's two predecessors and the music is a touch more annoying,
but the more difficult gameplay just about justifies the extra two
quid price tag.
When compared to present day platform extravaganzas,
both Parasol Stars and Rainbow Islands look very dated indeed,
but they were both classics of their day. Seeing them again on
these budget pages is like meeting an old friend who has grown
a little older but who "hasn't changed a bit."
Publisher: Hit Squad
Price: £7.99
R ainbow Islands is a cutesy platformer, following the further
adventures of Bob and Bub (or whatever they're called) from
that Bubble Bobble thing. Basically it's a run of the mill affair
with the usual collection of worlds comprising of different levels, and
if you don't know the score by now then shame on you.
You progress through the levels by chucking these amazingly
small but perfecty formed rainbows at everything that moves, and
collecting pieces of fruit on the way.
The graphics are a bit below par and the bloke on the box looks
disturbingly like Frank Sidebottom, but if you like your games cheap
and simple then you can't go far wrong.
My only real gripe with Rainbow Islands is that I was expecting a
beat'em-up featuring the cast of a top children's entertainment prog.
I'd pay a sizeable fee to see George stomping on Geoffrey.

F light sim enthusiasts will no doubt be glad to hear that The
Hit Squad have decided to release F-29 Retaliator in budget
form. Choose your battle scenario and mode of transport,
then it's up into the air and your off on a mission.
The speed of the game is very impressive, and the graphics
are some of the best around in this particular genre. In fact,
you'll be so impressed that you may just prefer flying around
rather than completing the missions. And what a choice of
missions there are, with about a 100 in total spread over four
different battle scenarios.
You can participate in the Pacific Basin, zoom at ridiculous
speeds over mainland Europe, or even scoot around the Arizona
desert avoiding them big sandy monument things.
In fact to enjoy the wonders of the sky just put on your
helmet, get into that flying suit, strap yourself in the cockpit and
you'll believe a man can fly.

problem with this game, and for some of you it will make the
prospect of a round with Links virtually impossible to bear.
Every time you take a shot, your trusty old Amiga will take an
average of about 25 seconds to redraw the view for your next
pot at the flag. After a while this becomes very frustrating indeed,
and as you can probably imagine, it takes about two hours to
complete a full round. I suppose it does represent a realistic golf
simulation if you take the last two points into account though.
After all, the few occasions that have seen me venture onto a real
golf course have ended approximately a couple of hours later in
tears of frustration.
I still like Links despite this fault, and just think what the mark
below could have been if it wasn't so slow to play.
Just a final point to say that to play Links, you'll need either a
hard disk or two floppy drives.

is being released once more, but this time in budget format. You
may think that this is well overdue, what with the game being
almost two years old, but a few changes have been made to the
original in order to spice it up a bit for today's market.
The number of levels has been increased from four to the
more respectable amount of eight, and there are also Deep
Space Bonus Rounds as well as the usual bonuses, power-ups
and end of level guardians.
A major problem with the gameplay is the fact that the
current score is shown in enormous digits, slap bang in the centre
of the screen. This would be enormously infuriating at the best of
times, but in a game as fast as this, you can't help but feel that it
has been put there to deliberately put you off.

I t takes something pretty special these days to raise even half an
eyebrow as far as golf sims are concerned, so you may be
unenthusiastic at first about the claim on Link's packaging that it's
a,"Golf simulation so realistic, you'll think you're there!".
Okay, such a claim is obviously a wild exaggeration, but you
can't fail to be impressed by the excellent course backgrounds and
options available (you can even alter your stance at the address of
the ball). The animation is very smooth on the eye, and the swing of
the clubs isn't impossible to control either. At this moment some of
you may be checking your bank accounts to see if you have the
necessary funds to cover such a purchase, but hold on there just one
minute before you rush out to the shops.
I feel that I must warn you now about the one and only serious

A lmost two years ago to the day.
Electronic Zoo released a four level
shoot'em-up which was heralded as
the fastest Amiga game of all time. How
many times has this been heard, and how
many pinches of salt have been taken since then I
wonder? But still, Cardiaxx ranks amongst the top shoot-em'ups in
terms of speed.
The game itself showed little in the way of imagination, as all you
were required to do was fly through space tunnels blasting everyone
and everything that moved, but it was genuinely regarded as a
respectable game of the day.
Now Team 17 have bought the publishing rights, and Cardiaxx

T he budget market is expanding at a great rate these days. I
can remember a time when we had to scrape together
enough titles to just about fill two pages. Well now look at
what we've got for you, three pages crammed to bursting with
the latest releases.
Core Design are the latest house to dip their toe in the water
with the advent of their new label, Corkers. Core have an
excellent back catalogue so we can look forward to some really
good value for money releases.
The first of these is Chuck Rock. This received massive acclaim
when it first appeared, with reviewers nationwide praising the
product. Personally, I wasn't too keen and have to say I thought
the sequel to be far superior.
The original though, was just a run of the mill platformer with
a better than average storyline. Having played it again, my
opinion hasn't really changed, although I was surprised that it
hadn't dated a little more than it has.
You can't really complain for a tenner though. I should
imagine most people will not struggle to get their moneys worth
out of this.

t the risk of exposing a bland side to my character I must
confess to being a keen rugby fan. Not that Union rubbish
kyou understand. I can't be doing with a load of old,
overweight men huffing and puffing their way up and down a field
for eighty minutes after a ball that someone has just booted off the
pitch for the fiftieth time in succession. League is a different matter
though, and yes, I do like it.
There has only been one game to do justice to the sport, and that
just happens to be this one. Although it is a Union simulation, this
manages to be fast, playable and addictive, while the graphics are
not up to much, and are very similar to those used in Kick Off 2, but
they really are unimportant.

S ix months ago would probably have been a better time to
unleash this on an unsuspecting, budget buying public.
Mansell's defection to the Indycar championship was all
over the papers, and it was impossible to turn to the sports
section without reading something on which, let's face it, was of
very little interest before.
Now the euphoria has died down and the game has
reappeared. I always really like this, but now I come to play it
again, I can't quite understand why. It moves fairly fast, but
where is the appeal in racing endlessly around an oval track?
The addition of a few twistier circuits wouldn't have gone amiss,
and would almost certainly have saved the product from falling
into the realms of not worth bothering with. Well, that certainly
shattered my illusions.

there's a new number one this

have been splashing out on Christmas

majority of this dosh, but Kixx's

the subject of football, Graham Taylor

DON’T FRET
Dear Nick (sort it out - Paul)
I am worried about the future of the
A600. Adverts for the A500 have
disappeared from all mags I have
read, and the A500+ ads have also
gone, or seem to have been pushed
into the corners of pages, making
them virtually unnoticeable.
How long will it be until the
same happens to the A600 in your
estimation? Would I be better
selling it and buying the CD32
now, or wait until it gets off the
ground? I really don't want to
purchase the A1 200 as it looks
rubbish, and yes, I do know that the
CD32 is just like an A1200 with a
CD drive but no keyboard. Please
help me, as I don't want to be left
with a computer which software
companies have forgotten about.
Paul Marshall, Sheffield.
It's true that A500s are making less
frequent appearances on the ad
pages, due largely to the fact that
Commodore have ceased
production, and the remaining
models were sold at more than
competitive prices. It will be a good
long while before the same fate
befalls the A600; thousands are still
on sale, and if Commodore ore to
be believed, ore selling quicker
than what's it through a goose .
The CD32 and A1200 are the
way forward though, and I'd advise
anyone who con afford it to
upgrade os soon as possible - the
machines won't "get off the
ground" if you wait and wait.
FAST LANE
Please could you tell me the
publishers of Ferrari Formula One
and give me their phone number. I
have enclosed a SAE.

SHOT DOWN, SUCKA
I am writing with a complaint about
what the obviously terribly
undereducated Steve saw fit to
write in his Alien3 review. The first
paragraph was about his opinions
on the quite superb film Alien3.
He makes several references to
the fact that the alien has changed
from an "imperturbable killing
machine into some sort of rabid
dog type thing". Surely anyone with
K eep your SAEs to
yourseh esease -
we’ve fail 90t the time
to persona! ly reply to
everyone.
half a brain cell can see this was
not just a change, but a vast
improvement to an incredibly fast,
rather than an immobile, killing
machine. The film also included
some of the greatest camera work I
have ever seen. Very few people,
obviously including Steve, actually
understand how much more
complex and intelligent the alien
has become.
One of the final scenes is where
we are all led to believe that the
alien has died under a vat of
boiling metal, and amidst the
feelings of relief you get from the
cast, played excellently by Brain
Glover and other such brilliant
English actors, the alien suddenly
jumps up and suspends itself on a
pillar still covered in now solid
metal. Boom! (cringe - Paul) The
metal explodes off it like a
dynamite explosion - one of the
most surprising yet scary moments
of the film.
So, for Steve to call it "one of
the worst films ever", is as I hope I
have proved, a gross miscarriage
of justice. If I had wanted a film
review I would have read Empire or
Premier. If Steve ever thinks about a
job change, please diswade him
from trying to broaden his skills to
writing film reviews.
I feel that when reviewers write
their articles, they should confine
their opinions to that which we
value them for - computer games.
Thomas E. R. Neill, Harpenden,
Herts.
The "undereducated" Steve had
nothing more to do with the AlienS
review than adding the second
opinion at the end. John did the
hard work, and since he has a first
class degree in Film and Literature,
and until recently contributed to a
county magazine as film reviewer, I
can't think of anyone more
qualified to opinionate upon a film.
Made a bit of a fool of yourself
there Thomas, I feel...
I’M VERY STRONG
I have been reading the December
edition of AA, and could not help
laughing when reading the write-up
about The Bodyguard. The person
who the page was about says "I ^
weigh 175 pounds yet I can ^
I couldn't agree more with Katherine A/of very relevant, but
Gillespie's letter (issue 51). I bought this was sent in by
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade on
budget last Christmas and I m still in
Germany. I just can't get past the border guard.
I've had so many conversations with him that I'm
almost becoming sympathetic to the Nazi cause.
I've also had the time to find a nice little apartment
which is just across the road from an old peoples
home that would be ideal for dad. Hanz (the border
guard) and his wife Helga have asked us round for
tea, which is very broad minded of him considering
the number of times I've punched him in the face.
It would save a lot of embarrassment if I could
just get into Switzerland, otherwise I'm in a Catch
22 situation. I will need to live forever to work out a
way around Hanz, but I won't live forever unless I
reach the Holy Grail. Quite frankly I'm beginning to
wonder about my sanity. Maybe I could join the
German army and then in the process shoot myself
and put an end to it all.
Of course I could buy a hint book, but this
cancels out the benefit of buying a budget game -
anyway, I only have German currency, HELP!
Please print the solution to the game as soon as
possible. I feel it may already be too late.
Herr Jones, Buxton, Norfolk (on-der-Rhein)
It sounds as though it certainly is too late, er, Herr.
Starting from... soon, we'll print solutions to top
budget adventures whenever we get the available
space. Monkey Island anyone?

bench press in excess of 300 - only
the top 10 per cent of weighlifters
in the world con do this". I think this
person is a complete bullcrapper,
as most bodybuilders and
weightlifters press in the region of
415 pounds for eight to ten reps.
Also, I have recently taken up
bodybuilding and I weigh 198
pounds but can press 200 after just
one month of training. By the way, I
have only just left school.
G.G. Raymond, Marton, Blackpool
Brad says: Look dude, If you
consider I weigh around 13 stone,
which equates to roughly
1 SOlbs, I find it difficult
to believe that you
could lift me. In your
effort to discredit me,
you've been well and
truly highlighted as a
prize spod. Perhaps you
should stick to playing
games and blushing
when the opposite sex
tries talking to you. Oh,
I've passed your
address on to 'that'

only joking.) Had you
worried though.
Paul says: Well, it
sounds like someone

complex, and while it's
nice to chat away like
this, I wouldn't mind
few Amiga-related
letters for the postbag.

problem is-
P.D. Mason, Whitley Bay
-Aargh, I promise we'll do

Honest. Next month, definitely. Er,
probably.
CON ARTISTS
I bought your magazine Amiga
Action issue 49 especially for the
demo of FI 17A to use on my
A500+. I was very angry to find
out that it only works on the A500.
I think it is disgusting that this
information was not displayed
clearly on the front page or disk. It
is pathetic to use this type of con to
get higher sales. Not only do you
use this trick, but also sarcastically
announce this information on page
13, ten lines down.
I found the rest of the magazine
very enjoyable indeed, and might
have considered to continue
purchasing it, if not for this cheap
publicity rip-off.
Richard Valero, Great Barr,
Birmingham.
/ hope you do continue to buy the
mag, or I'm wasting my time
writing this reply. Our apologies
for the lock of information
regarding the FI 17A demo. The
simple truth is that duplication
complications meant that we found
out about the problem at a very
late date, when the cover hod
already gone to the printers. The
disk pages were the only place we
could warn you unfortunately, and
again, sorry if you found us to be
sarcastic - it certainly wasn't the
intention. For a change.
OF LITTLE PRACTICALITY
Everyone complains about the price
of software, which is fair enough,
because 30 pounds or more is a lot
to pay for a game that might only
come on one or two disks, after all.
I think I have a way around the
problem though. The software
companies are never going to do
an about turn and suddenly decide
to start charging less for their
games. I know they don't want to
put them into small boxes either, in
case they don't show up well in the
shops, but how about this - in these
times of "green" awareness, most
people seem willing to recycle old
things (bottles, tins, paper, etc).
How about if someone was to
set up a game recycle bin (for want
of a better phrase), where, after
we'd played our games, and
finished them, or got fed up, we
could take them and deposit them.
The manufacturers of the game
would get their disks back (and the
boxes too perhaps) and so could
use them again for their next
release, while we, the games-
buying public, would be able to
buy our next game at a
considerably reduced rate.
I must admit that I'm not
particularly bothered about the
green aspect of it all, but it does
seem to make sense, as software
companies and the public alike
would save money in the long run.
Yours, hoping-for-a-game,
Russell Collins, no address.
Er, I'm not entirely sure that this
would work, nice idea though it
seems. For starters, you'd need a
different bin for every company,
unless you expect someone to root
through a big one and pick out the
disks individually. Mind you, it's
putting people in work I suppose.
Also, how would it translate
into savings? Are you suggesting
that the software companies would
cut their prices en masse, or would
you attach your name and address
to the game when you popped it
into the recycler? Which creates
another problem, a nationwide
network of databases would need
setting up to keep a record of all
those people who'd recycled old
games so that all computer shops
knew to give you a discount when
you next made a purchase. This
would cost thousands and
thousands of pounds to set up, and
negate any savings made on re¬
usage of disks, and since the vast
majority of your game price goes
to pay for development costs, and
not the cost of disks, would cost the
software companies more than
ever, and thus probably put up the
cost of gomes in the long run.
Oh, and just say I did want to
give you a gome, where would I
send it? Drop it in the nearest bottle
bank, I suppose.
MARKED FOR LIFE
I have owned an Amiga A600HD
and Star printer for about three
months now after receiving it as a
birthday present, but also to help
me with my schoolwork. The
December issue of Amiga Action
was the first computer magazine I
have ever bought, and it's
excellent, but I do have one or two
questions that I would like to ask.
Are all the games you review
available in the shops, because I
was looking for Alfred Chicken and
Zool 2, and couldn't find either.
Also, how do you know what score
to give a game? They all looked
good, but the marks were so
different that I was confused as
which to buy. Finally, what are the
Superleagues for - are they all the
games that were on sale in 1993?
Ta very much, and keep up the
good work (even if it does cost
£3.95 to buy).
Marcia Golder, Enfield.
Every gome we review should be in
the shops on or around the date the
magazine comes out. Sometimes
problems arise that puts back
production, and sometimes we look
at a gome a couple of months in
advance. But not usually, unless it's
a preview.
Quite simply, a good game will
get a good mark, and a bod game
will get a bod one. Anything
scoring over 70 per cent is worth a
look, and 85 per cent plus signifies
an excellent product.
The Superleogues Marcia, are
for too complicated to explain here.
Either that or I'm very lazy.
Anyway, they aren't the total of
games released in 1993, for that
kind of information you'll need to
buy the February issue, wherein
we'll have the definitive buyers
guide for all those who've got a big
wad of Christmas money burning a
hole in their pockets.
We wont girls. Sorry to be so
blunt but, well, we don't get many
letters from femmes, and we're
lonely. Come on ladeez, the next
five published letters from females
win a game. Of some description.

ideas have come my way. I'm well buzzin' by

THERE'S A FAT BLOKE!
One of the more novel machines that caught my eye was the
seven foot monster that went by the name of Punch Belly.
This was one of those machines where you test your punch power.
Because of the environment poor ol' belly was looking everso
lonely. None of the formal businessmen wanted to commit
themselves. Not me, I got straight on over there and pressed the
start button, I gave the moulded plastic ruffneck a swift right.
"Haha, wimp", the machine scoffed. As the bottom light lit up -
"drip". Hmmm, had I not have blagged my way out of PE while
at school perhaps I could have avoided this embarrassment.
Skulking off, I later returned to hear that the bloke who owned
the machine had put it on the hardest mode. Grrr. Although, It's
good to see a variation on a theme that actually is a variation.
Check it now.
One of the strangest licences of late has to
be that of the Only Fool’s and Horses fruit
machine. Bell Fruit, arguably the UK’s
premier fruit machine manufacturers have
struck a rather ‘dodgy deal’ with the BBC
in creating the first TV licence of its kind.
With loads of innovative features getting
their first airing, including a phone call
feature which when it comes up allows
you to deal with one of Del Boy’s
suspect business
associates! This RlHk#l
may well be up _
your Hooky street.
some bizarre reason gave me a real bis
you shoot one of ‘them’ in the arm, it'll lose
that limb, meaning a crack shot is needed fc
those tricky head or chest hits.
Sometimes even with half its
body destroyed it'll still have
a go, crawling towards you
at a slothful pace. Bang,
good night Vienna.
My initial fears were that
enemy sprites would be too
samey, however the graphic artist
must have worked some
serious overtime In producing a
variety of new adversaries,
without contravening the
standard set by the ace movies.
The upright unit has a pair of authentic
pulse rifles built into the cabinet, but it
only when you actually pay your mo' tl
you get the full effect of the weapons,
press of the trigger causes your marine
type weapon to recoil. Stunning. Beins
free play I took
advantage, by
doing the lamest
impression of
Chuck Norris
you’ve ever seen
holding a gun in
each hand, (the
photo was over
exposed, hehe).
Ij Sega have certainly kept their cards close to
their chest with this one. In true Alien style,
it's come out of nowhere and I guarantee
‘cade fans are gonna freak. Sporting gamepiay
similar to the likes of Taito’s Operation Wolf,
and more recently that of T2. You're placed in
the boots of the bald one in a mission that'll
follow closely to the plot of the third movie.
You've to make your way through six levels of
alien infested tunnels and buildings, killing as
many of the blood thirsty predators as
possible. The
screen scrolls
from left to right
(generally)
sometimes
interspersed by
a series of levels
where 3D
scrolling
methods are
used as you run
through the
landscape
picking the
nasties off. Don't
get too scared
because help is at hand. If you’ve a buddy
with a few quid to spare, he or she can get
involved in the fire fight.
You've only got to check out the screen
shots to realise the quality game you've got
here. There's this really neat feature, which for
• la tbfl film Alien 3 Sigourney Weaver wore a pair ot Reebok boots
tlipough the whole filming. Huh! •
£1 = CRED
Billed as the most authentic arcade flight simulator available, Namco’s Air Combat
is a real time (don’t ask me what that means) game which uses the latest in 3-D
polygon imaging and explosive sound to totally immerse the player.
From the minute your coin drops into the box you get to choose the
level of difficulty you want to play at, of which there are three. Cadet
(easy). Captain (moderate) and for people like me, Ace (rock hard) are
available. Play is pretty much like an After Burner machine with brains the
general mission type being the interception of enemy planes that enter
into your airspace - no points for originality here.
Still, if you’ve always wanted to shoot down the Ruskies then I suppose
this is what you’ve been waiting for. If you prove to be a bit of an ace you’ll
get a Top Gun-esque bonus stage where
you’ve to land your fighter on a moving
aircraft carrier. Fail and be humiliated,
succeed and the excitement
continues... To be honest I didn’t rate
AC but in the arcade infested
environment I was in. Only the best
are gonna survive!
THE LATEST, POSSIBLY THE GREATEST?
◄
METAL CITY 1
Judge Dredd, the table. Well overdue if you ask me but Bally have timed their entry
into the market just right. With the impending release of the motion picture. The best
aspect has to be the Supergame (TM). For two credits players can enjoy the buzz of two
balls in play at one time. So instead of the usual three you get six, fantastic. Be cautious,
this does increase the cost of a game by 100%. The overall aim is to send the dark
judges packing. Easier said than done let me tell you.
TABLE OF DOOM ►
Williams have captured the essence of the Indiana Jones trilogy in manufacturing a full
size pintable. Themed loosely on the hit films you‘ve to travel the world seeking out
rare artifacts. Ball fans are gonna love the multi-ball feature of not four,
not five but six of the metal spheres on the play area at one
time. Gulp, nightmarish at best. Also to split up the
action are three unique video modes that pop
up at relevant times during your quest. Looking
towards the in-built dot matrix screen at the
end of the table, you’ll be thrown into shoot
outs against Nazi agents in the Raven bar. As
you can fully appreciate Indy
Jones is something a bit
more than just pinball. It's
an epic adventure.
Everybody knows about Super Street Fighter 2, and we all love it. But
what about the third in the series? How many rehashes can you milk the
virtual violence freaks for? I’ve an idea on how we may be able to hurry
its release on, or at the very least get a bit of momentum going for it.
All you have to do is design an SF3 character. Where would he/she
be from? What would they look like, what sort of special moves would
they have? The choice is yours, the only limit being your imagination.
Get your stuff together and get drawing. The best get their art printed
within these pages. Who knows perhaps Capcom may even offer you a
job on the SF3 project. (Like I say p’raps).
Moral Kombat
Being a massive Street Fighter Z
fan, I find myself having to come to
terms with a game that may well
be superior to the aforementioned
upright. ‘Fatal Fury special’ takes off where the previous
Fury’s left off taking the best bits out of the first couple of
games, and even resurrecting some of the fave characters.
If you thought the Street Fighter dudes had some seriously
imearthly moves,
then prepare for
them to be out
done.
Mews Just in is that Sega
are on the verge of
producing their own
virtuality unit. With the
headline " Sega game could
cause eye damage" you
would have expected it to
appear in one of the
techno-fear mongering
tabloids. This story
actually surfaced in the
Independant on Sunday.
But the paper had never
clapped eyes on the new
device let alone used it.
Needless to say as soon as
Sega’s legal bods got on
the case a full retraction
and apology were
subsequently printed
(snigger, nice one Sega,
that’ll teach ‘em).
LAST WORDZ
The man responsible for the look
of the first couple of OTEs has
gone. Sniff, the man Jimbo Eagers
has done a flit onto our sister
magazine PC Action, which
incidentally, is rather good. Never
fear dudes 'cos help is at hand
with the wonderful "Q” aka Sue
Ashton setting the pages and
running the whole crayon show.
Enough of that. I hope you
enjoyed this section as much as I
did writing it. I’d really like to tell
you what I’ve got lined up for
next month but to be honest I
don’t really know myself (see I
don’t lie to you) but rest assured
guys whatever it be it’s gonna be
mighty funky that's for sure.

Trust us to have all you need
Street fashion is at an all time high. Wear the wrong
clothes and you'll get laughed at. Wear the right clothes
and you'll be the centre of attention. But keeping up
with fashion is an expensive task. Joe Bloggs, perhaps
the UK's leading streetware label, together with the
leading publisher of computer mags - Europress (that's
us that is) have been in meeting rooms up and down
the country securing the hottest deal this year!
Forget those ridiculously expensive prices you pay in
the shops. Cos, we've all the latest street fashions at a
cut down price, and in turn were passing on the savings
to our loyal readers, (thats you that is). Have a browse,
see if anything takes your fancy, if it does, simply whap
in the number on the coupon. Oh, and the size and not
forgetting the colour.
Write out a cheque, bang it in an envelope. Wait 28
days and become the envy of ail your friends. It's as
easy as that. Boy or girl, Joe Bloggs is for you!
BLOGGS FAX
New innovations from Bloggs
include the One Size Jean. A
design that can fit anyone
ranging from a 22" to a 40"
inch waist. ^
Yes! You too can look as cool
as these guys! Be the envy of
all your mates with all this top
Joe Bloggs clobber.
is for you. As a special bonus for cuff fans,
two cuffs are included! Can be worn tucked in
or out, the decision is entirely yours!
(1)‘B' jeans-103876
As you can see here, these jeans have got
that, dare I say it 'Shabba' style to them.
Wear them the conventional way, over your
trainers or get on the hip hop tip, by tucking
them into your boots. Well sorted! Oh, yea
there's a nice big 'B' emblem on the back
pocket.
(8) Round neck Bloggs 'natural' top
Crew neck, long sleeved made. For any
wanna be naturalist, its also got some
groovy text on the front, A1.
(5) Wooly hat
Cripes, Winter's just around the corner. Hey,
when it comes to sno' ball
fights, theres one thing having a pair of
gloves, eh but what about that all important
head of yours! I bet you forgot all about that,
well don't worry too much, because this hat
complete with bloggs logo will look after your
brain as well as keeping your body heat in. Go
on mum's treat 'em. They deserve it.
9) Bloggs flag type jeans
long leg jeans, leather badge, and a rather
fetching flag type Bloggs logo on the back
right pocket. Good fashion jeans, that'll no
doubt have a massive lifespan.
(2) Neck tie natural top
Going back to basics, made with natural
fibres, this loose fitting top makes excellent
clubware, and it'd certainly look the part on
‘da street'.
(10) Denim shirt
Casual, smart? Tucked in, left out? Buttoned
up, un-buttoned. The amount of ways you
can wear this top quality denim shirt with its
stylish cotton back are untrue. As is the
price!
(6) Bloggs logo jeans
These are the type of jeans, made for the
‘straighter' amongst you. If you don't want to
advertise the fact that your jeans are from
“Bloggs' yet want a top quality pair of strides.
These are right up your street. Boasting a very
conservative Bloggs badge.
(3) Joe Bloggs ‘Ultimate Player' cap
This top of the range cap, is of ‘that' State'
style, and can be worn in numerous ways.
On the front, is a trendy Bloggs - Ultimate
player logo this in itself makes the cap a
fashion item, that no self respecting person
can ill afford to avoid. Spinning it around,
and wearing the peak backwards shows a
Game Over' badge, a must for any games-
master.
all the features of a US Cap, at a more than
reasnoble price.
(11) Jogging bottoms
Regardless of where you are, you'll fit in
with these lightweight joggers. Although I
wouldn't reccomend them at weddings. The
tie string around the waist can be used to
adjust the tightness. So if you like ‘em
baggy get a bigger size.
(7) Bloggs backpack
If you're after a pack for your back then a
Backpack is the item you require. Fashionable
yet practical this Bloggs bag will soon take
pride of place whenever carrying stuff is the
order of the day. A natty little Over-the-
Shoulder number can be yours by simply send¬
ing off for this.
(4) Striped top -106442
If you like your clothes loose-fitting, stripy
and with buttons all the way down then this

NEW enhanced version sets even higher \
standards and breaks more records.
Firmly established as the definitive interactive football strategy game.
FOOTBALL TACTICIAN 2 is now available in three superb versions:
PT2 ENGLAND the original and the first ever management game where I
tactics and real-time match intervention are the main requirements for a
successful campaign. FT2 SCOTLAND the first ever simulation covering the
soccer scene north of the border featuring the Premier and First divisions.
FT2 ITALIA with the fabulous serie A and serie B for the thrills, the passion
and the glory of the world’s most exciting league!
Three great games with the latest 93/94 stats. One soon realises that FT2
is no ordinary soccer manager. THIS is the REAL THING. You’re in charge.
Events on the field are the direct result of your inputs. Even when trailing
badly, a match can still be retrieved and won if you make shrewd tactical
interventions. There are risks involved, uncertainty and even luck. But in the
end, it’s all down to you! Can you rise to the challenge?
Try FOOTBALL TACTICIAN 2 for a totally different football experience!
What makes Football Tactician 2 so special?
• Biggest ever multi-user system: up to 46 users tyes forty-six! who said four was the limit?) |
Now with new rating system reflecting managers ability and achievements,
• First ever fully interactive management game: intervene at any time during a match to |
change tactics, make substitutions, adjust formation, mark players or inspect possession.
• Most accurate player definition: 30 parameters including real ages, aptitudes, skills, caps
nationalities, playing positions, fitness, morale, market valuation and performance.
• Largest results database: 21290 match results and league positions going back 20 |
seasons all instantly retrievable. All of which may be printed out and examined.
• Professional recording: 36 matches always recorded for full-scale replay at ANY time!
• First ever referee involvement: true to life behaviour. Beware of adopting ‘rough tactics' or |
’time-wasting’ when Jim Parker is in charge! The message is clear: know your refs.
• Fastest ever setting-up time: initial start-up in less than two seconds, thanks to 900K of |
super-fast machine code. No waiting. No delays. Smoothness of action is FT2's hallmark.
• Most accurate editor; built-in intuitive editor capable of entering new players and fine tuning I
all parameters. It goes without saying that this is essential for the serious user.
• 16 different tactics from rough play to offside-trap, all adjustable throughout the match. You |
manage your side before AND during the match. No guessing. No falling asleep.
• Three levels of match reporting, from highlights only to ball-by-ball commentary.
What are the new features?
• FA Premiership and Division One permanently in memory with full interaction, promotions,
transfers. European pool, play-offs, local and European Cups.
• Man of the Match. PFA Player of the Year. PFA Young Player of the Year. Footballer of the
Year, Manager of the Year. Transfer deadline. Pitch invasions. Fights between players.
• Easy selection of penalty takers, free-kick takers, long throwers, wingers, captains, ball
winners, playmakers, overlapping full backs, reserves, substitutes, player managers...
• Unique database-type search facility to locate any player in the league.
• Full-scale printing facilities. With 46 simultaneous users, highly suitable for Play-by-Mail.
• Intelligent behaviour of computer sides capable of changing tactics to respond to situation
on the field or making substitutions based on fitness and fatigue.
Plus mid-week transfer and fitness news from all 46 clubs.
• Thirteen different charts: top scorers, super-subs, penalty kings, hat-trick heroes, most
bookings, most consistent player, most caps. etc. etc...
• Friendlies, precise transfer markets, club history, financial position and FTiuch much more!
Why is FT2 not in the shops?
The very essence of a football strategy game is its accuracy. With transfers happening I
every day. rules being changed and players being injured, shop games are out-of-date the
moment they come out. Some publishers issue yearly revisions. That may be fine but not fine
enough for us. The FT2 you buy is 100% up-to-date. We revise the program and data |
weekly There are no compromises. Who wants to play a game that says that Fiorentina
are in serie A fffp or Newcastle in Division One? Who wants to play a game that
Roy Keane at Forest or Ruud Gullit still at Milan? No known |
football game is more up-to-date than FT2 and that’s a fact!
